You can import the default ARIS document storage documents using WebDAV. These documents are used by the default data feeds to generate dashboards.
ARIS document storage supports WebDAV. You can connect only one tenant with a specific repository.
To grant users without the Document management role access to ARIS document storage content, ARIS document storage can be used as a WebDAV network drive.
With a Microsoft® Windows 7 operating system you just need to connect the relevant network and access ARIS document storage directly. With older operating systems, you need to use Web folders (select Tools > Map Network Drive > Sign up for online storage connect to a network server in Microsoft® Windows Explorer). If this does not work you need to configure your computer as follows.
Procedure
Open the Registry Editor.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WebClient\Parameters and find the DWORD entry BasicAuthLevel.
Check if the value of this entry is 2. If the value of this entry differs, please change it to 2. If the DWORD entry does not exist, create it.
With operating systems older than Microsoft® Windows 7 you also need to find the DWORD entry UseBasicAuth. If it does not exist, create it.
Change the value of this entry to the hexadecimal value 1. Thus, you enable HTTP Basic Access Authentication for SSL and non-SSL connections.
Close the Registry Editor.
Restart Microsoft® Windows.
You can now use ARIS document storage as a WebDAV network drive.
Configure ARIS document storage for WebDAV - please refer to the ARIS Connect online help, chapter Manage ARIS Connect > Configure ARIS Connect > Set up Document storage > Configure WebDAV.
Extract the Documents archive (ARIS installation DVD\Content\ARISAware) to a temporary target directory, for example: C:\Dashboarding. This archive contains all required xml documents used by the default data feeds.
In order to copy the content into ARIS document storage, a network mapping using WebDAV is required.
Map the network drive to http://<Fully qualified domain name of ARIS Server:load balancer port>/documents/rest/webdav. You do not need to specify the port if the load balancer uses port 80.
