Setup scenarios

This chapter describes the installation processes of ARIS products using different database management systems on Linux operating systems. By default, these installations will create an unprivileged and locked user aris10 which uses /home/ARIS10 to install ARIS itself. If you want to use different settings, make sure to change them before installing the first rpm file.

By default, the executed rpm files will create an unprivileged and locked user aris10 which uses /home/ARIS10 to install ARIS itself. If you want to use different settings, make sure to change them before installing the first rpm file.

To change the directory, you must set the environment variable TARGETDIR to the desired directory, for example:

export TARGETDIR=/mnt/largedisk

To change the user under which ARIS will run, you must set the environment variable user (lower case is mandatory), for example:

export user=TheOtherUser

Ensure to set the environment variables in the same user context as the package manager call that uses the environment variables.

Code Example

sudo -s

export TARGETDIR=/mnt/largedisk

export user=TheOtherUser

rpm install aris10-cloud-agent-<number>-1.x86_64.rpm

From ARIS 10.0.12.0, ARIS Risk and Compliance and ARIS Server use the same external database management system if configured. When you update your ARIS Server, ARIS Risk and Compliance still uses the database connection as configured for ARIS Risk and Compliance. If you want ARIS Server and ARIS Risk and Compliance to use the same connection, you must first update ARIS Server. Then configure the database connection manually, as described in the ARIS Risk and Compliance Installation Guide. The ARIS Risk and Compliance installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk and Compliance Installation Guide. Documents are available in the Documents folder and can be downloaded from Empower or from the ARIS Download Center.

Before installing an ARIS Server on a Linux operating system, you must provide ARIS Agent to your Linux Red Hat or SUSE system. To allow customizing activities additionally provide the command-line tools ARIS Server Administrator, ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC), and ARIS Scriptrunner. Use the *.rpm files for Red Hat or SUSE systems.

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. Le savoir-faire nécessaire peut être acquis uniquement en suivant la formation ARIS Server Installation, disponible via Global Education Services.

All required rpm files are available in the downloaded <ARIS_Installation_and_Documentation-<version>>\Linux setup folder. You find all setup programs within the Windows setups\ARIS_Server folder. Copy the whole content to a directory of your choice. This will make available all documents needed to setup ARIS as well as the database scripts. These scripts are needed to setup your external database management system for the use of ARIS. If you only copy a single ARIS setup, make sure to copy the content of the folder containing the setup.exe file as well as the Setup_Data folder. You can find all documents (PDF) in the Documents folder, download documents and access compendiums from Empower, or from the ARIS Download Center.

Linux setups

Contains all required files to be executed on a Linux operating system.

Linux <system>

Required files to install ARIS Agent and several tools for administration on SUSE and RedHat Linux systems.

ARIS_Admin

Provides ARIS Server Administrator on a Linux system (see ARIS Server Administrator Command-line Tool.pdf).

ARIS_Agent

Provides ARIS Agent. After ARIS Agent is provided, you can install an ARIS server remotely from a Windows machine.

ARIS_Cloud_Controller

Provides ARIS Cloud Controller on a Linux system (see ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) Command-Line Tool.pdf).

ARIS_Scriptrunner

Provides ARIS Scriptrunner on a Linux system (see ARIS Architect online help).

Windows setups

All required setup programs to be run on Windows machines. Files required for Linux installations are available in the Linux setups folder.

ARIS_Agent

Installs ARIS Agent. ARIS Agent will be installed on all Windows machines that will have an ARIS Server. It provides basic components, for example, ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) and handles internal communication processes.

ARIS Cloud Controller peut être utilisé dans plusieurs modes.

Pour démarrer ACC sous un système d'exploitation Windows, cliquez sur Démarrer > Tous les programmes > ARIS > Administration > ARIS Cloud Controller. Si vous avez changé les informations d'identification de l'utilisateur pour l'agent, vous devez saisir le nom d'utilisateur et/ou le mot de passe.

Pour lancer l'ACC sous un système d'exploitation Linux, exécutez plutôt le script shell acc10.sh. Pour ce faire, saisissez : su -c acc10.sh aris10.

If you are about to install an ARIS Server remotely, please make sure to first install ARIS Agent locally on that machine.

ARIS_Client

Installs an ARIS Client.

ARIS_Server

Installs ARIS.

This setup will install ARIS Agent, ARIS Server comprises of 100% of ARIS, standard database system (optional), ARIS Viewer, ARIS Designer and ARIS download clients. It provides the default tenant for all user data. The functionalities ARIS workflowsShare model, Change request and Approve model are available using an ARIS Server license. For full ARIS Process Governance functionality you need to purchase and import an ARIS Process Governance license.

ARIS Risk and Compliance server can be installed optionally. The ARIS Risk and Compliance server installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk and Compliance Installation Guide (see installation package).

You can optionally install ARIS Aware. ARIS Aware provides dashboards.

This setup can be run on Windows operating systems using the standard database system, your Microsoft SQL Server or your Oracle database. You can also install it on a Linux operating system.

Setup_Data

Folder content needed for all setups.

If you only copy one ARIS server setup, please make sure to copy the content of the folder containing the setup.exe file as well as the Setup_Data folder.
