System database

This database manages the content of a tenant located in the Configuration and Evaluations folders, which is displayed on the Administration tab in ARIS Architect. This content includes filters, templates, fonts and font formats, but also ARIS Method and all common files, report scripts, scheduled reports, semantic checks and macros.

The system database is created automatically while the first user is logging in to ARIS. The content is available to all databases of this tenant. The ARIS Service Administrator commands backupsystemdb, restoresystemdb, and updatesystemdb can be used to save and restore this data centrally.

Saves the central system database that contains data such as filters, model templates, and scripts in an ADB file in a directory <archivedir>.

Syntax

backupsystemdb <archivedir> [<alternatename>]

Restores the central system database that contains data such as filters, model templates, and scripts from a system database backup file (ADB) <archive>. You can also update the system database using the updatesystemdb command

After performing an update setup, update the system configuration of each operational tenant (filters, templates, and scripts) based on the supplied system database (<ARIS installation package>..\Content\SystemDB\*.adb). Any content you have created is retained.

Syntax

You can execute the command for several tenants at the same time.
