Installation on a Linux system

The installation on a Linux system is basically the same as the installation on a Windows system.

PPM can only be installed remotely on a Linux system. To perform a remote installation, ARIS PPM Cloud Agent must first be installed on the remote computer. The ARIS PPM Cloud Agent is automatically installed on Windows systems. On Linux systems, you must install ARIS PPM Cloud Agent manually as a daemon, see chapter Install ARIS PPM Cloud Agent. For a remote installation, you must open the port of the ARIS PPM Cloud Agent in your fire wall and close it after the installation is completed.

Use the ARIS Process Performance Manager installation program to install PPM, PPM Analysis GUI, and the infrastructure under Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6.4, 6.5, and 7 (64-bit) as well as Suse Linux Enterprise Server 11 SPx.

You can download current products, product updates and documentation on the ARIS Download Center.

Observe the notes on the system settings in chapter Prepare to install PPM on a Linux system.

The following is also to be observed when working under Linux:

  2. To install ARIS PPM Cloud Agent under Linux as a service, run the call <./CloudAgentApp.sh install with sudo or root privileges in the directory <installation directory>/ppm/server/bin/ after the installation.
  3. Start the infrastructure and the components of the products installed. To do so, run the corresponding scripts start_ppm.sh. The scripts are located in the directory <installation directory>/ppm/server/.
  4. You can now check if all required components are running.
    1. Start ARIS PPM Cloud Controller (acc.sh) by executing the following command in the command line in the directory <installation directory>/ppm/server/acc/.

      ./acc.sh –h localhost –u Clous –pwd g3h31m –p 17011

    2. Enter the command list to display the components' status. Use the commands stopall and startall to stop and restart all components, if necessary.

The selected products are now installed and can be used.

You can configure your system as described in chapter Procedure after installation.

To stop the infrastructure of the installed products, run the scripts stop_ppm.sh. The scripts are located in the directory <installation directory>/ppm/server/.
