This procedure describes the installation on the active computer. To perform remote installations on Microsoft Windows machines, first run the ARIS Agent setup on the remote computers.
Prerequisites
Procedure
Edit the envset.bat file to specify the connection data of the Microsoft SQL server instance. It's a good idea to write down the credentials. They must be entered later during the ARIS setup process.
To specify the connection data of the Microsoft SQL instance, modify the highlighted parameters:
@ECHO OFF
REM
REM You may edit this section for customizing purposes.
REM
REM If you use named instances then append a "\" and the name of your instance
SET MSSQL_SAG_MSSQL_SERVER_NAME=localhost
REM The login name that is used to execute this script
Warning
The login name used to run the script (MSSQL_SAG_MSSQL_LOGIN_NAME) must be different from the Windows user used to run the service (see install.sql file; <domain account>).
SET MSSQL_SAG_MSSQL_LOGIN_NAME=localhost\username
REM name of database that will be created by the script.
SET MSSQL_SAG_DATABASE_NAME=ARIS10DB
REM folder in which the database files should be stored.
SET MSSQL_SAG_FILEGROUP_FILE_DIR=F:\msqldata\ARIS10DB
REM credentials of the login that is used by the application.
SET MSSQL_SAG_APP_PWD=*ARIS!1dm9n#
REM schema names for the default and master tenants
SET MSSQL_SAG_TENANT_DEFAULT=aris_default
SET MSSQL_SAG_TENANT_MASTER=aris_master
...
CREATE LOGIN [<domain account>] FROM WINDOWS WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE=[$(database)]
In the CREATE USER command for login replace $(username) with the domain account to be used:
USE [master]
GO
CREATE LOGIN $(username) WITH PASSWORD=N'$(password)', DEFAULT_DATABASE=[$(database)]
GO
In the CREATE USER command for login replace $(username) with the domain account to be used:
In the GRANT IMPERSONATE ON USER command replace $(username) with the domain account to be used.
Run the script create_schema_for_tenant.bat and pass the schema name as parameter, for example:
create_schema_for_tenant.bat <schema name for additional tenant>
If the schema already exists it will be dropped and recreated automatically. If you do not use the scripts you can also setup the database and create an empty schema for each tenant manually.
If you use an external database management system and you have created empty schemes for additional tenants, you must assign additional tenants to these schemes after the ARIS Server setup is completed. The default tenant and the master tenant were assigned automatically.
If you change the credentials, you will be further on prompted to enter that password you've chosen whenever you start/stop the ARIS Server or access your ARIS installation using ARIS Cloud Controller.
The Demo scenario option is recommended for demonstration purposes (laptop) only.
Warning
If the hardware does not fit the system requirements, a warning is prompted. In this case do not proceed the setup. Otherwise ARIS might not work reliably.
Make sure this file contains the required ARIS Server license. If you have purchased an ARIS Design Server license (YDS), ARIS Connect components are not available and ARIS document storage provides only basic functionality. ARIS Connect and the full range of ARIS document storage are only available if you are using an ARIS Connect Server License (YCS).
The values shown are the default values used in the envset.bat file and the default parameters used when setting up the Microsoft SQL server.
Fully qualified name or IP address of the Microsoft SQL server.
Port addressing the SQL server instance running over TCP. The default port number is 1433. Specify the required port number.
Name of the database. Specify the value of the corresponding line in the envset.bat file:
When setting up a Microsoft SQL server, the default instance name is MSSQLSERVER. If you use named instances, specify the used named instance name instead.
SET MSSQL_SAG_DATABASE_NAME=ARIS10DB
Login user name that is used by the application. Specify the value of the corresponding line in the envset.bat file:
The application user's password. Specify the value of the corresponding line in the envset.bat file:
SET MSSQL_SAG_APP_PWD=*ARIS!1dm9n#
Schema name for the master tenant and user name for that schema's owner. Specify the value of the corresponding line in the envset.bat file:
SET MSSQL_SAG_TENANT_MASTER=aris_master
Schema name for the default tenant and user name for that schema's owner. Specify the value of the corresponding line in the envset.bat file:
Warning
If you don't, ARIS will not send any notifications, due to the missing mailing functionality.
But you can configure SMTP mail processing at any later point of time. Some parameters can also be managed using the ARIS Administration of this server. Please refer to the online help of ARIS Administration.
Warning
If you enter these parameters but your mail server does not require SMTP authentication, the connection will be rejected.
Select Start manually. Otherwise the installation will fail. All runnables remain in the stopped state when the installation is completed.
If you have changed the ARIS Agent's default user credentials during this procedure, you will be prompted for that password you have chosen. Alternatively, you might want to modify the shortcut (Start > All Programs > ARIS > Administration >...). However, that bears the risk of a stolen password.
To update an existing service use the following command to edit the URL, for example:
update external service <service ID> url="jdbc:sqlserver://<database server>:<database port>;DatabaseName=<database name>;integratedSecurity=true"
If you register a new service the integratedSecurity=true parameter must be added to URL, too, for example:
register external service db url="jdbc:sqlserver://<database server>:<database port>;DatabaseName=<database name>;integratedSecurity=true" driverClassName="com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver" username="<user name>" password="<password>" maxIdle=15 maxActive=300 maxWait=10000 removeAbandoned=false removeAbandonedTimeout=600 logAbandoned=true initialSize=0 testOnBorrow=true validationQuery="select 1" defaultAutoCommit=false rollbackOnReturn=true host=<database server> jmxEnabled=true
This process takes some time. Settings entered during the setup process can be adjusted. Use the reconfigure ACC command (see ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) Command-Line Tool.pdf document) to change settings. After the ARIS Server installation has completed, you must check the installation and configure the system.
