This chapter describes the single node installation of ARIS Connect/ARIS Design Server or ARIS Publisher Server using the setup program.
If you run an ARIS Connect/ARIS Design Server setup, the following components are installed:
*If you have purchased an ARIS Design Server license (YDS), ARIS Connect components are not available and ARIS document storage provides only basic functionality. ARIS Connect and the full range of ARIS document storage are only available if you are using an ARIS Connect Server License (YCS).
You can install ARIS Connect/ARIS Design Server along with ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager on one machine. The ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager Installation Guide. ARIS Publisher Server must be installed on a dedicated machine, if required. For advanced installations Software AG strongly recommends that you request an installation service by Global Consulting Services. You can order that service from your Software AG sales representative. This is of particular importance when you intend to install ARIS across several computers/VMs (distributed installation). Such a specific scenario requires profound knowledge of the technical ARIS infrastructure and environment. This cannot be provided in the product documentation. The required know-how can be acquired only by attending the training course ARIS Server Installation, available via Global Education Services.
Setup activities are logged in the files %temp%\ARIS_install_log and %temp%\aris_install_full.log.
Remote installation
To perform remote installations on Microsoft Windows, first run the ARIS Agent setup on the remote computers. Then you can install remotely from your machine. For local installations under Windows, on the active machine, ARIS Agent will be installed automatically.
On Linux systems ARIS Agent must be provided first. The required files are available on DVD 2 (Linux) (see ARIS Server Installation Guide - Linux.pdf). Then you can run an ARIS Server setup remotely from a Windows machine.
Technical documents
To avoid redundancies this document does not re-iterate information available in other technical documents. The documents are available on the installation media (see Documents > English folder structure) Documents can be installed locally (see ARIS Client Installation Guide), downloaded from Empower, where a login is required, or downloaded from the ARIS Download Center.
For more details please review relevant documents. For example, the ARIS Release notes provide last-minute information that could not be included in the documents anymore. The ARIS Guidelines for the Usage of Technical Documents guide explains where to find relevant information, for example:
