Execute the backupsystemdb command

You can save the central system database as ADB file in a directory <archivedir> manually. It contains data such as filters, model templates, scripts, and ARIS method extensions, such as user defined attributes, models or objects.

If you use ARIS 9.8 service release 2 or newer versions, the system database will be backed up automatically during a tenant backup.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Click Start > Programs > ARIS > Administration > ARIS Server Administrator 10.0 if you accepted the program group suggested by the installation program. Under a Linux operating system, execute the arisadm.sh shell script instead. The command prompt opens and ARIS Server Administrator is launched in interactive mode.
  2. Establish a connection to the server and tenant:

    Syntax: server <server name>:<port number> <tenant> <user name> <password>

    Example: server arissrv:1080 default system manager

  3. Enter backupsystemdb <archivedir>[<alternatename>].

The system configuration, managing, for example, ARIS method extensions, report scripts, scheduled reports, macros, semantic checks, filters and templates, of this tenant will be saved.
