This chapter describes the installation processes of ARIS products using different database management systems on Microsoft Windows operating systems. If you are going to use ARIS Server and ARIS Risk and Compliance along with ARIS Publisher Server, ARIS Publisher Server must be installed on a different machine.
From ARIS 10.0.12.0, ARIS Risk and Compliance and ARIS Server use the same external database management system if configured. When you update your ARIS Server, ARIS Risk and Compliance still uses the database connection as configured for ARIS Risk and Compliance. If you want ARIS Server and ARIS Risk and Compliance to use the same connection, you must first update ARIS Server. Then configure the database connection manually, as described in the ARIS Risk and Compliance Installation Guide. The ARIS Risk and Compliance installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk and Compliance Installation Guide. Documents are available in the Documents folder and can be downloaded from Empower or from the ARIS Download Center.
You find the setup programs within the ARIS_Server folder in the ARIS installation package. If you do not use the ARIS installation package 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.
