Setup scenarios

This chapter describes the installation processes of ARIS products using different database management systems on Linux operating systems.

Before installing an ARIS server on a Linux operating system, you must provide ARIS Agent to your Linux Red Hat or SUSE system. To allow customizing activities additionally provide the command-line tools ARIS Server Administrator, ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC), and ARIS Scriptrunner. Use the *.rpm files for Red Hat or SUSE systems. After you have copied and installed the files start the remote installation from a Windows system.

All required rpm files are available on the ARIS DVD 2 (Linux). Setup programs and documents are available on ARIS DVD. The documents can be downloaded from Empower, where a login is required, or downloaded from the ARIS Download Center.

Setups

All required setup files.

Linux <system>

Required files to install ARIS Agent and several tools for administration on SUSE and RedHat Linux systems.

ARIS_Admin

Provides ARIS Server Administrator on a Linux system (see ARIS Server Administrator Command-line Tool.pdf).

ARIS_Agent

Provides ARIS Agent. After ARIS Agent is provided, you can install an ARIS server remotely from a Windows machine.

ARIS_Cloud_Controller

Provides ARIS Cloud Controller on a Linux system (see ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) Command-Line Tool.pdf).

ARIS_Scriptrunner

Provides ARIS Scriptrunner on a Linux system (see ARIS Architect online help).

After ARIS Agent was installed on the Linux machine, start the setup remotely from a Windows machine.

If you are going to use ARIS Connect/ARIS Design Server and ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager along with ARIS Publisher Server, ARIS Publisher Server must be installed on a different machine.

The ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager server installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager Installation Guide (see ARIS DVD).

You find all setup programs within the ARIS_Server folder or the ARIS_Publisher_Server folder on the installation media 1. If you do not use the installation media to setup ARIS, copy the whole content to a directory of your choice. This will make available all documents needed to setup ARIS as well as the database scripts. These scripts are needed to setup your external database management system for the use of ARIS.

If you only copy a single ARIS setup, make sure to copy the content of the folder containing the setup.exe file as well as the Setup_Data folder.
