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.
ARIS Publisher is integrated into ARIS on the Administration tab. With these products, administrators create exports of your ARIS databases after you have installed ARIS Publisher Server.
ARIS Publisher Serverss manage the content of the published databases (Publisher exports). A Publisher export is a Web application. In addition to a Java environment (JDK), it requires a web application server, for example, Apache TomcatTM as the runtime environment. The data is held in a relational database system and is exchanged with the program via a JDBC interface.
The Derby database system and Apache TomcatTM Web Application Server are automatically installed when you select the standard installation for ARIS Publisher Server. With this test sytem, only 1 user can export a Publisher export. Lane models cannot be optimally exported. For a productive system, you need a different database system, such as the Oracle database system or Microsoft® SQL Server. Depending on the ARIS Publisher Server license purchased, these systems enable all users to simultaneously work on a Publisher export.
After the standard installation, reports are run by ARIS Publisher Server. You can additionally install a Report Server to optimize system performance when running reports.
You can use ARIS Publisher with the Publisher export and HTML export features to publish modeled processes and other content. You can both integrate ARIS Publisher into an enterprise portal and adapt its appearance to your company's corporate design.
The Publisher export offers the following advantages over an HTML export:
On-demand generation of dynamic process portals
Integration into ARIS Architect
Administration of ARIS Publisher Servers
Wizard-based management of exports (create, edit, enable, disable exports)
Export several export languages at the same time
Target group-oriented and role-based representation of process content (access control)
Significant reduction in export times and high-performance access to process information
Seamless integration into corporate portals, single sign-on, connection to existing user management (for example, LDAP)
Flexible and individually expandable language concept for multilingual access
Operational integration with Office products, document management systems, SAP®, etc.
Flexible customizing
