Back up your databases before making fundamental changes.
Errors may occur with large backup files (ADB) and during database recovery. If errors occur during backup or while restoring, please use the backup mechanism in your database management system (DBMS). Make sure that sufficient disk space is available for restoring large databases. This may exceed the memory requirements stated in the document ARIS System Requirements.
Prerequisite
You have read the security advice.
Your meet one of the following conditions:
You have the Database backup for this database.
Use the following function privileges to control the users' authorizations.
Analysis tab
You can analyze dependencies between analysis objects and KPIs. All analysis objects contained in the database are displayed. The rule set defines this structure for the transfer of analysis objects. The graphic is used to display the structure of analysis objects.
You can evaluate KPIs using tables created with templates and relate the analysis objects, dimensions and KPIs to each other.
You can enter base KPI values. Fields with a blue background indicate calculated values. Fields with a white background are editable. Fields with a gray background are not editable and indicate KPIs that are not defined for the analysis object displayed in the dimension displayed (for example, because the rule set has now changed or because an analysis object no longer exists).
You have the following options:
Rename analysis groups
Select an analysis object and display its KPIs in the KPIs area
Obtain information on the composition of a KPI
Navigate through the structure of the analysis objects in the Graphic area
Create tables from templates
Deactivate analysis objects
Delete analysis groups
Open saved tables
Run what-if analyses
Edit values
Obtain information on the composition of a KPI
Create tables from templates
Open saved tables
Run what-if analyses
Data management tab
You can manage data.
You have the following options:
Merge existing dimension combinations and/or analysis objects.
Delete existing dimension combinations
Deactivate dimension combinations
Activate saving points
Deactivate saving points
KPIs tab
You can enter base KPI values. Fields with a blue background indicate calculated values. Fields with a white background are editable. Fields with a gray background are not editable and indicate KPIs that are not defined for the analysis object displayed in the dimension displayed (for example, because the rule set has now changed or because an analysis object no longer exists).
Administration tab
You can import configuration files, and manage dimension types, dimensions, input screens, rule sets, table templates, users, and user groups.
Your user account has been assigned the Database administrator function privilege in ARIS Administration.
If you do not have this privilege, log in as a system user.
Procedure
Click ARIS > Explorer. The Explorer tab opens.
Click Navigation in the bar panel if the Navigation bar is not activated yet.
In the navigation, right-click the name of the database to be backed up, and select
Backup. The Back up database dialog opens.
Specify the relevant settings and click OK.
The database is saved in the selected folder under the specified file name with the file extension adb.
You can restore backup copies of databases on any tenant and thus restore the database to its state before these changes were made.
If an unauthorized user restores a backup file that was not encrypted, he has full access to the entire content of the database.To increase data security, please use encrypted backups.
