Installing ARIS Publisher Server using an Oracle 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.

For a productive ARIS Publisher system you must select the medium or large installation option. For these installation options an external database system is required. The Oracle database management system is not included in the package. If you have not yet installed the Oracle database management system, please follow the instructions in the Oracle installation program, as well as the documentation provided by the manufacturer.

Depending on the ARIS Publisher Server license purchased, the system enables all users to simultaneously work on exports.

Prerequisite

Procedure

  1. Start the ARIS Publisher Server installation as an administrator (DVD folder Setups\Windows\ARIS_Publisher_Server).
  2. Install the ARIS Publisher Server on the active computer and use the default agent user's 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 please 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.

    Enter the ARIS Administration user name superuser and the corresponding password. You can also enter encrypted passwords.

  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 the Medium or Large installation option. You need to take the memory requirement into account to ensure optimum load distribution and better protection against failure.
  11. Select Oracle as database system.
  12. Select the required JDBC driver for the Oracle database management system.
  13. Enter the connection parameters you have defined while creating the Oracle database.
  14. 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.

After the installation, reports are run by ARIS Publisher Server. You can additionally install a Report Server on another machine to optimize system performance when running reports. To install ARIS Publisher Report Server, start the ARIS Publisher Server setup on another machine and install the ARIS Publisher Report Server. After you have installed ARIS Publisher Report Server, exports are managed by ARIS Publisher Server and reports are run by ARIS Publisher Report Server.
