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
ARIS Server Administrator is installed.
You know the credentials of the superuser, or you have the Server administrator function privilege.
Procedure
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. To do so, enter: su -c arisadm.sh aris10. The command prompt opens and ARIS Server Administrator is launched in interactive mode.
Establish a connection to the ARIS Server and tenant:
Syntax: server <ARIS Server name>:<port number> <tenant> <user name> <password>
Example: server arissrv:1080 default system manager or server arissrv:443 default system manager -ssl
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.
