This chapter describes the single node installation of ARIS Connect/ARIS Design Server or ARIS Publisher Server using the setup program. On Linux systems ARIS Agent must be provided first. The required files are available on DVD 2 (Linux) (see ARIS Server Installation Guide - Linux.pdf). Then you can run an ARIS Server setup remotely from a Windows machine.
If you run an ARIS Connect/ARIS Design Server setup, the following components are installed:
The functionalities ARIS Connect workflows‚ Share model, Change request and Approve model are available using an ARIS Server license. For full ARIS Process Governance functionality you need to purchase and import an ARIS Process Governance license.
Authorized users can start ARIS Download Client within their browsers. All necessary files are downloaded from the ARIS Server to a local directory. Users do not need a local ARIS Client installation.
*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).
You can install ARIS Connect/ARIS Design Server along with ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager on one machine. The ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager installation procedure is described in the ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager Installation Guide. ARIS Publisher Server must be installed on a dedicated machine, if required. For advanced installations Software AG strongly recommends that you request an installation service by Global Consulting Services. You can order that service from your Software AG sales representative. This is of particular importance when you intend to install ARIS across several computers/VMs (distributed installation). Such a specific scenario requires profound knowledge of the technical ARIS infrastructure and environment. This cannot be provided in the product documentation. The required know-how can be acquired only by attending the training course ARIS Server Installation, available via Global Education Services.
Setup activities are logged in the files %temp%\ARIS_install_log and %temp%\aris_install_full.log.
Remote installation
