Administrators have multiple alternatives for manually backing up data.
Databases
Currently, Java can only process files of up to a maximum of 4 GB safely. Thus, errors may occur with larger 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.
Filters
Method, configuration, and queries
In ARIS Server Administrator, using the backupsystemdb command.
Scripts
Queries and ad hoc analyses
In ARIS Architect on the 'Administration' tab, using the function Back up analysis data.
Automatic backup
When ARIS Server is started, the configuration files are saved in the file backup_sysconfig.zip. This file is saved in the sysconfig directory. If required, you can open this file using an extraction program and restore the files of the sysconfig directory.
When you perform an update, make changes to a program, the relevant files and directories are backed up. A selection of files is listed here to provide examples:
In a client installation in the directory <ARIS installation directory>\backup<date>:
In a server installation in the directory <ARIS installation directory>\server\backup:
User attributes of the Free attributes attribute type group from previous ARIS versions are no longer used. You can now customize attribute type groups and attribute types.
To be able to continue using user attributes from previous versions you must import the previous filters that contain all user attributes of the database. These user attributes are created and thus become visible only due to the filter import. Please restore the database of the previous version on your current ARIS Server after the import.
