This procedure describes the installation on the active computer. To perform remote installations on Microsoft Windows machines, first run the ARIS Agent setup on the remote computers.
Prerequisites
Make sure that the general prerequisites are met.
Procedure
If you change the credentials, you will be further on prompted to enter that password you've chosen whenever you start/stop the ARIS Server or access your ARIS installation using ARIS Cloud Controller.
The Demo scenario option is recommended for demonstration purposes (laptop) only.
Warning
If the hardware does not fit the system requirements, a warning is prompted. In this case do not proceed the setup. Otherwise ARIS might not work reliably.
Make sure this file contains the required ARIS Server license. If you have purchased an ARIS Design Server license (YDS), ARIS Connect components are not available and ARIS document storage provides only basic functionality. ARIS Connect and the full range of ARIS document storage are only available if you are using an ARIS Connect Server License (YCS).
Warning
If you don't, ARIS will not send any notifications, due to the missing mailing functionality.
But you can configure SMTP mail processing at any later point of time. Some parameters can also be managed using the ARIS Administration of this server. Please refer to the online help of ARIS Administration.
Warning
If you enter these parameters but your mail server does not require SMTP authentication, the connection will be rejected.
You can specify a URL to be used for validating the proxy server settings.
Select Start automatically if you want to have the server started up with every restart of your operating system.
Select Start manually if you want to start/stop the server on the active computer manually.
If you have changed the ARIS Agent default user credentials during this procedure, you will be prompted for that password you have chosen. Alternatively, you might want to modify the shortcut (Start > All Programs > ARIS > Administration >...). However, that bears the risk of a stolen password.
This process takes some time. Settings entered during the setup process can be adjusted. Use the reconfigure ACC command (see ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) Command-Line Tool.pdf) to change settings. After the ARIS Server installation has completed, you must check the installation and configure the system.
To ensure optimum performance when you are using ARIS with the standard database system, we recommend that you regularly shrink the database. This prevents the used disk space constantly increases. To do so, execute the vacuumdb.exe file (<ARIS installation directory>\server\bin\agentLocalRepo\.unpacked\<build number>_PostgreSQL-run-prod-<ARIS version>-windows64-runnable.zip\postgresql\bin). For detailed information, read the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
