Installing ARIS Publisher Server as a demo system using the standard database

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.

This setup will install ARIS Agent and ARIS Publisher Server for demonstration purposes only, for example, on a laptop. The standard setup installs ARIS Publisher Server and Apache TomcatTM Web Application Server in a single procedure.

The standard database Derby used by Apache TomcatTM Web Application Server can only be used as demo version. It is only available for Microsoft Windows operating systems. This test system only allows a small number of users to access a Publisher export. Swimlane models cannot be exported using a Derby database.

Prerequisites

Make sure that the general prerequisites are met.

Procedure

  1. Start the ARIS Publisher Server installation as an administrator (DVD folder Setups\Windows\ARIS_Publisher_Server).
  2. Install ARIS Publisher Server on the active computer and use the default agent user credentials. To perform remote installations on Microsoft Windows machines, first run the ARIS Agent setup on the remote computers.
  3. Select the installation directory.
  4. To import the ARIS license file right now, click Select file... and navigate to the license archive file. Otherwise licenses must be imported after the installation.
  5. Select the ARIS Publisher Server to be installed. A Report Server can only be installed on another machine. This is to optimize system performance when running reports.
  6. If you retain the settings of the installation program, the context path and the default port 14500 to the web server are entered automatically. Either make sure that the default port is not used by other programs, or enter another free port number.
  7. If you use Process Governance as part of your ARIS Server installation, specify the IP address or fully-qualified ARIS Server name. Enter the port number only if it is another than the standard port.

    The Process Governance module and the Start governance process pop-up menu are only available in the Publisher exports if a Process Governance license is available for the connected ARIS Server and all Process Governance integration parameters have been entered during the ARIS Publisher Server setup process.

  8. To use the user and license management of another ARIS Server, select Use the ARIS Administration of an existing ARIS Server.

    Enter the URL to that ARIS Server ARIS Administration:

    http://<IP address or fully-qualified host name>:<load balancer port>/umc

    You must enter the port number only if you have changed or redirected the standard port 80.

    Enter the ARIS Administration user's name superuser and the corresponding password.

  9. If you are about to manage documents using ARIS document storage of another ARIS Server, enter the required parameters. Only in this case ARIS document storage will be available if customized.
  10. Select Derby as database system.
  11. Start the installation process.

This process takes some time. Settings entered during the setup process can be adjusted, such as standard database connection parameters. 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.
