Start Download Client

You can start an ARIS Client as Download Client.

Prerequisite

Procedure

  1. Open your browser and enter the link provided by your administrator:

    Syntax: http://<IP address or fully-qualified host name>:<load balancer port>/#<tenant name>/home

    You must enter the port number only if the standard port 80 has been changed or redirected (Redirect ports, Redirect ports). The login dialog opens. Log in.

  2. Click your user name (top right).
  3. Click Download Clients.
  4. Click the Start button beside the ARIS Download Client with which you want to work. If the Java applet is used, ARIS Download Client starts immediately. Otherwise, an ARIS downloader JAR file is used.
  5. Save the ARIS downloader JAR file locally. The name of that file is a combination of the ARIS Download Client product name and the server name. Therefore, for different download clients different JAR files will be downloaded.
  6. Double-click the JAR file. The ARIS downloader starts. A progress dialog monitors the initial download. The ARIS downloader checks whether the ARIS Download Client already exists and still matches the client available on this server. If needed, it downloads a new version of the ARIS Download Client. The Run ARIS dialog opens.
  7. Enter your user name and your password.
  8. Click OK.

The ARIS Client is opened.
