Installation

This chapter describes the single node installation of ARIS Server using the setup program.

From ARIS 10.0.13.0 on ARIS Publisher and IT Inventory are no longer delivered. This means that you can no longer install or update ARIS Publisher Server. You can still use your current ARIS Publisher installation, but since this component is no longer supported, no more features will be developed. We strongly recommend using the published content instead of ARIS Publisher in the future.

If you run an ARIS Server setup, the following components are installed:

*The functional range depends on the server license that you have purchased (see ARIS Functional Product Matrix contained in the downloaded ARIS installation package, ARIS Download Center, or Empower).

You can install ARIS Server along with ARIS Risk and Compliance on one machine. The ARIS Risk and Compliance installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk and Compliance Installation Guide. For advanced installations Software AG strongly recommends that you request an installation service by Global Consulting Services. You can order that service from your Software AG sales representative. This is of particular importance when you intend to install ARIS across several computers/VMs (distributed installation). Such a specific scenario requires profound knowledge of the technical ARIS infrastructure and environment. This cannot be provided in the product documentation. The required know-how can be acquired only by attending the training course ARIS Server Installation, available via Global Education Services.

Setup activities are logged in the files %temp%\ARIS_install_log and %temp%\aris_install_full.log.

Remote installation

To perform remote installations on Microsoft Windows, first run the ARIS Agent setup on the remote computers. Then you can install remotely from your machine. For local installations under Windows, on the active machine, ARIS Agent will be installed automatically.

To install ARIS Server on Linux systems ARIS Agent must be provided first. The required files are available in the installation folder <ARIS_Installation_and_Documentation-<version>>\Linux setup that you can download from the ARIS Download Center (login required). After you have copied and installed the files, you must start the remote installation from a Windows system. If you do not want to run the setup remotely from a Windows machine, you must execute all required steps manually using ARIS Cloud Controller. Therefore, refer to the ARIS Distributed Installation Cookbook.pdf document. The required know-how can be acquired only by attending the training course ARIS Server Installation, available via Global Education Services.

Technical documents

To avoid redundancies this document does not re-iterate information available in other technical documents. The documents are available in the downloaded ARIS installation package (see Documents > English folder structure). Documents can also be installed locally (see ARIS Client Installation Guide), downloaded from Empower or from the ARIS Download Center.

For more details please review relevant documents. For example, the ARIS Release notes provide last-minute information that could not be included in the documents anymore. The ARIS Guidelines for the Usage of Technical Documents guide explains where to find relevant information, for example:
