Before installing an ARIS server on a Linux operating system, you must provide ARIS Agent to your Linux Red Hat or SUSE system. To allow customizing activities additionally provide the command-line tools ARIS Server Administrator, ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC), and ARIS Scriptrunner. Use the *.rpm files for Red Hat or SUSE systems. After you have copied and installed the files start the remote installation from a Windows system.
In RedHat and SUSE systems *.rpm files will perform these actions automatically:
kernel.shmmax:
if "kernel.shmmax < 629145600" then "kernel.shmmax = 629145600"
max_file_max:
if "max_file_max < 200000” then "fs.file-max = 200000"
$max_file_max = "ulimit –n"
If "$max_file_max > 2^20" then max_file_max = 2^20
aris10 soft nofile $max_file_max
aris10 hard nofile $max_file_max
aris10 soft nproc 12204

Prerequisites
Procedure
This file provides ARIS Agent. ARIS Agent is needed to perform a remote server installation.
This file provides ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC).
rpm –i aris10-acc-<number>-1.x86_64.rpm
This command installs ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) (/bin/acc10.sh) to your Red Hat and SUSE system.
rpm –i aris10-cloud-agent-<number>-1.x86_64.rpm
This command installs ARIS Agent to your Red Hat system.
rpm –i aris10-cloud-agent-SLES-<number>-1.x86_64.rpm
This command installs ARIS Agent to your SUSE system.
rpm –i aris10adm-<number>-1.x86_64 and rpm –i aris10-scriptrunner-<number>-1.x86_64
These commands optionally install the administrator tools ARIS Server Administrator and ARIS Scriptrunner.
Edit the envset.bat file to specify the connection data of the Microsoft SQL server instance. It's a good idea to write down the credentials. They must be entered later during the ARIS setup process.
To specify the connection data of the Microsoft SQL instance, modify the highlighted parameters and refer to the comments:
REM
REM You may edit this section for customizing purposes.
REM
REM This script is intended to be executed on the Microsoft SQL server machine, therefore the default value is 'localhost'
REM If the MSSQL_SAG_FILEGROUP_FILE_DIR directory exists on the Microsoft SQL server machine, you can run the script remotely. When executed locally, the script creates this mandatory directory.
REM If you use a default instance, an instance name is not required.
REM If you use named instances, enter a backslash ‘\’ followed by the instance name.
SET MSSQL_SAG_MSSQL_SERVER_NAME=localhost
REM This script is configured for the use of Windows authentication by default.
REM Windows authentication uses the user account running this script and does not require user credentials to be specified in this script.
REM If you want to use user/password authentication instead, uncomment the following lines and modify the settings for use by the SQL Server command line tool (sqlcmd).
REM SET SQLCMDUSER=sa
REM SET SQLCMDPASSWORD=manager
REM name of database that will be created by the script.
SET MSSQL_SAG_DATABASE_NAME=ARIS10DB
REM folder in which the database files should be stored.
SET MSSQL_SAG_FILEGROUP_FILE_DIR=F:\msqldata\ARIS10DB
REM credentials of the login that is used by the application.
SET MSSQL_SAG_APP_USER=ARIS10
REM If using % character in your password: Write %% to yield a single % character.
SET MSSQL_SAG_APP_PWD=*ARIS!1dm9n#
REM schema names for the default and master tenants
SET MSSQL_SAG_TENANT_DEFAULT=ARIS_DEFAULT
SET MSSQL_SAG_TENANT_MASTER=ARIS_MASTER
REM
REM The rest of the script must not be modified.
....
Run the script create_schema_for_tenant.bat and pass the schema name as parameter, for example:
create_schema_for_tenant.bat <schema name for additional tenant>
If the schema already exists it will be dropped and recreated automatically. If you do not use the scripts you can also setup the database and create an empty schema for each tenant manually.
If you use an external database management system and you have created empty schemes for additional tenants, you must assign additional tenants to these schemes after the ARIS Server setup is completed. The default tenant and the master tenant were assigned automatically.
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).
The values shown are the default values used in the envset.bat file and the default parameters used when setting up the Microsoft SQL server.
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.
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 uninstall ARIS from a Red Hat or a SUSE system enter, for example, rpm –e aris10-cloud-agent and rpm –e aris10-acc.
