How to migrate ARIS Connect portal views and configuration sets

The portal shows specific information for each user. Different views display information in different ways. By default, ARIS comes with two different views. The Classic view and the Default view. These views are defined in configuration sets that cannot be changed. However, administrators can define multiple modification sets based on these templates.

Views and modification sets

In ARIS 10, portal views are called modification sets. If portal views were added or changed in ARIS 9, you must backup portal views in ARIS 9.8.7 or later and restore modification sets manually. The default and the classic configuration set must not be migrated. These sets, holding all new features, are used as template for all future modification sets, created in ARIS10.

Customized configuration sets

Customized configuration sets are configurations sets that have been created manually in ARIS 9.8.7 or later. They must be adapted on file level in ARIS 10.

This advanced configuration requires high knowledge on XML configuration, that can be acquired in the 742-<ID> ARIS Connect Portal Configuration training. Errors in XML configuration files may cause strong impact. You might not be able to start ARIS Connect again.

Therefore, all customized folders must be copied from <ARIS 9.8.x installation path>\server\bin\work\:

and pasted into the <ARIS 10 installation path>\server\bin\work\ subfolders:

New ARIS 10 functionality will not be available in the copied configuration sets.

Depending to the level of customization, you are recommend to use a prepared customization package obtained by the original customizer. If you need help, contact Software AG for a customization request. Customization and training services are not subject to the standard Software AG software maintenance agreement. Configuration changes can only be performed by Software AG if you requested and agreed on them.
