You can create various scripts using the 'Administration' tab. You can then write the scripts in . Or, if you are not familiar with JavaScript, you can create simple report scripts in design view.
on theThe Script Wizard opens automatically when you create a macro, report, or semantic check on the Administration tab.
Script Editor (code view) opens automatically when you double-click a script in the Navigation bar.
ARIS is supplied with numerous standard scripts. We generally recommend documenting all changes to scripts externally so that the documentation can be used to ensure that they are incorporated correctly during the update process.
Reports/Macros/Report templates and files
Do not make any changes to the standard scripts we supply. Always adapt copies of report, macro, and JS files, and any other files. There are exceptions, for example, the file atsall<language code>.js.
When updating ARIS, all ARIS standard scripts and files are overwritten and customer-specific changes to these files are discarded. Copied scripts and files and those you have created yourself are not overwritten.
If you have changed files we supplied but not copied them, before the update (updatesystemdb) they must be exported and then imported after the update. This enables you to retain your adapted standard scripts from the previous version. However, in this case you do not receive any corrections or updates to the files we supplied.
Semantic checks
We recommend creating custom rule types and custom profiles for semantic checks, in which the ARIS standard rule types and rules are referenced.
This is not possible for configurable rule types (relationship attribute rules, model attribute rules, object attribute rules, existence rules, and allocation rules). If you have added rules to these rule types, you must export the rule types before the update and then import them after the update.
