ARIS Download Client

Users do not need a local ARIS Client installation (see ARIS Client Installation Guide). If ARIS Server is installed, all authorized users can start ARIS Download Client using their browsers instead.

All necessary files are downloaded from the ARIS Server to a local directory. The system checks whether the ARIS download client already exists and still matches the client available on this server. If needed, it downloads a new version of the ARIS Download Client, and then starts ARIS.

This process requires a locally installed JRE. Settings from the ARIS Server configuration file are passed to the configuration of the download client while starting the ARIS Download Client. The target directory and several settings can be configured by an administrator.

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, a Java applet can be used to start this process instead. Other browsers are blocking Java applets due to security reasons. Up to ARIS version 10.0.5, the use of a Java applet is configured by default. There is no need to change the default setting. If Java applets are blocked, an ARIS downloader JAR file is used automatically to start ARIS Download Client. You can force ARIS to only use ARIS downloader and block Java applets.
