This document describes the steps that you must perform if you manually update any ARIS 10.0 installation to any 10.0 SR.
Do not update ARIS manually if you have installed the current ARIS server using the ARIS server setup. To update such an installation, start the most current ARIS server setup program to update your installation.
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.
If you currently run ARIS in version 10.0.11 or lower, you must update to version 10.0.21 first and then update to ARIS in the current version. The direct update to the current version is blocked in server setup, the agent setup, and via ACC update command.
From ARIS version 10.0.12 or higher, you can directly update to the current version.
Depending on the current version (source version) that you are going to update to (target version), some of the steps described below are optional or might not be needed. Some steps are only required if you are using an external database system, such as Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server. In these cases, this is indicated at the beginning of the related steps. If there is no such indication, the step is required regardless of current source or target version.
The steps described in this document are only necessary if you want to:
Update an ARIS installation that was originally installed manually by provisioning (either on a single node or on multiple nodes). We consider an installation as manual if it was not created with one of the product-specific setups, for example, the ARIS server setup for a single-node installation, but by manually installing (empty) ARIS agents on the machines and then using ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) to install or configure the individual components (so called runnables) that comprise an ARIS system on these agents.
Update a setup-based ARIS installation that was changed so that the update setup refuses to update.
Learn about what goes on under the hood of an update setup. After all, the steps described here are basically what the setup does (but of course only for simple single node, that is, not distributed installations).
