ardoq-archimate - a Python tool for importing archimate exchange files to Ardoq

Description

ardoq-archimate is a tool for importing archimate models (in .xml format) to Ardoq. Sign up for a trial at https://ardoq.com.

Note: this is an open source project to import archimate exchange format to Ardoq. It is not an officially supported part of Ardoq. Contact the author through github if you find bugs or need updates

Limitations / Known Issues

  • Location not implemented. Waiting for Ardoq to include it in the template
  • Workspaces are not added to folder. API call to move a workspace is not working
  • Properties are ignored

Dependencies

  • python3
  • ardoqpy - for integration with ardoq
  • xmltodict - for reading and writing xml

Quick Start

Steps:

git clone https://github.com/jbaragry/ardoq-archimate.git
cd ardoq-archimate
pip3 install --user ardoqpy xmltodict
cd ardoq_archimate
python3 ardoq_archimate.py --host https://myorg.ardoq.com/ -t <insert_token_here> -x <insert_path_to_xml_file_here>

Using config file:

clone the repo or just download ardoq_archimate.py
install ardoqpy and xmltodict using pip
edit the config file to use your API token from Account Settings in Ardoq and host (https://yourhostname.ardoq.com)
edit the config file to point to the archimate exchange file
when in dir ardoq_archimate, run program
