Use the backup tenant and restore tenant ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) commands to migrate data from ARIS 9.8.7 or later versions to ARIS 10.x. If you back up tenants, the current state of the following data is saved in different folders in the tenant backup archive file.
Tenant data is fully backed up only if the user executing the commands has sufficient privileges for all components in every tenant and if all components were selected for the backup.

Migration scenarios
To achieve predictable migration time, you must check the size of tenant data, and choose the likely migration scenario.
Migrating tenants where the sum of databases is smaller than 3 GB
Just backup tenants in ARIS 9 and restore them on the ARIS 10 installation on a different computer. If ARIS was customized or ARIS Publisher still is in use, after migration you must perform some additional steps. Make sure to add required extensions again.
Migrating tenants where the sum of all databases is bigger than 3 GB
To achieve a predictable migration time and smaller tenant backup files, exclude all ARIS databases from the tenant backupthe tenant backup. Thus, you can start the database migration separately. If ARIS was customized or ARIS Publisher still is in use, after migration you must perform some additional steps. Make sure to add required extensions again.
Migrating ARIS modification sets and configuration sets manually
You must backup portal views and restore them as modification sets if in ARIS 9 portal views were added or changed. Customized configurations must be adapted on file level.
Migrating ARIS Publisher
From ARIS 10.0.13.0 on ARIS Publisher and IT Inventory are no longer delivered. This means that you can no longer install or update ARIS Publisher Server. You can still use your current ARIS Publisher installation, but since this component is no longer supported, no more features will be developed. We strongly recommend using the published content instead of ARIS Publisher in the future. As of October 2023, neither ARIS Publisher, IT Inventory, nor HTML export functionality will be available.
There is no way of migrating exports. You must export your migrated database content using ARIS Publisher 10.
Migrating ARIS Risk and Compliance
For this migration scenario please refer to the ARIS Risk and Compliance Data Migration for customized data.
Migrating ARIS client with server LOCAL. From ARIS 10.0.16.0 on the LOCAL database system is no longer delivered.
Migrate these data manually using ARIS Designer.
Software AG recommends that you request a migration service by Global Consulting Services. You can order that service from your Software AG sales representative.
