Installing ARIS Administrator Tools

This chapter describes the installation of ARIS Administrator Tools on Windows operating systems. During this installation, ARIS Server Administrator and ARIS Script Runner are installed.

You can start ARIS Server Administrator from any client computer and access the tenants and databases on the server.

Use the console application ARIS Server Administrator to back up or restore a tenant configuration or to manage the ARIS databases of a tenant, for example. The individual commands are transferred as command line parameters. The program provides information on the success and effect of each command executed.

You can use the console application ARIS Script Runner to start reports outside ARIS from a server on which an ARIS Client is installed. You cannot automatically start interactive reports, that is, reports that call dialogs and expect entries to be made during execution.
