Installations

Installations
This chapter describes the requirements for all available installations. Each installation is explained step-by-step. It is assumed that you perform the installations for the first time, using the ARIS_7.exe startup file. You may also start the individual installation programs via the corresponding Setup.exe file. If system files are changed due to the installation procedure, you will be prompted to reboot your computer after installation is complete. Please refer to the ARIS Administration Guide to obtain information on additional settings required for using ARIS products. If an installation is run for a second time for installed programs, the following options are provided: Modify Use this option to add other components and/or languages. Repair This option repeats an installation with the current settings. This is useful if a program file was deleted by accident, for example. Any subsequently installed hotfixes will be deleted! Remove This option uninstalls the component for which the installation program was launched. When you make an update, add a language (Modify option) or repeat an installation (Repair option), the system checks if a CFG file was changed manually. If so, a backup copy of that file is generated before the new CFG file is installed. For example, if you changed the arisserver.cfg file manually, it is backed up in the <ARIS installation directory>\server\backup\config directory (see also Chapter 5.3). The settings from the previous installation are retained, such as the installation path, the program group and languages you installed.

This chapter describes the installations on and contents of ARIS Platform CD 1.

3.1.1

Client Installation
This chapter describes the installation of ARIS Clients. The ARIS WITH LOCAL STANDARD DATABASE SYSTEM installation also installs the standard database system. This enables you to create and edit databases locally on your computer, and also to work with databases on other ARIS Business Servers. Please note that not all ARIS products can access the local standard database system. The ARIS WITHOUT LOCAL STANDARD DATABASE SYSTEM installation does not provide the standard database system. Thus, you can only create and edit databases if you connect to ARIS Business Server. To be able to work locally, select ARIS WITH LOCAL STANDARD DATABASE SYSTEM. 1. 2. Ensure that the system requirements for all products and functionalities are met (see Administration Guide). Insert ARIS Platform CD 1 into your CD drive. If the start page is not displayed automatically, click on the name of the CD drive in Windows Explorer and run ARIS_7.exe. 3. 4. 5. 6. Click on ARIS Platform. The installation program's Welcome page opens. Click on Next. Once you have read the license agreements and accept them, click on Yes. Select the installation directory. If other ARIS Platform products are already installed on the computer, this step is skipped and the directory of the products that have already been installed is used. To use the installation directory suggested in the Target Folder box, click on Next. If the target folder does not exist, click on Yes to create the folder. The Select program folder page opens.

ARIS Web Client Components

If you want to use ARIS via a browser, you must install ARIS Web Client Components. ARIS Web Client Components only consist of passive Web server components (e.g. HTML files). ARIS Web Client Components and Web Server Before your Web server can use ARIS Web Client Components, you must specify one of the following settings: Map a drive to the WWW root of the Web server. Install the ARIS Web Client Components in a temporary directory. Transfer the files to your Web server. Please note that due to this procedure ARIS Web Client Components cannot be included in the automatic patch setup. In this case, you must update the ARIS Web Client Components separately. Run ARIS Business Server setup (for Web Client Components) on the computer on which your Web server is installed. Enter the path to the WWW root, e.g. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\. ARIS Web Client Components and HTML Generator The index.html and aris_database.html files are updated by the HTML Generator during system operation (see chapter HTML Generator - Current Database Lists in the Administration Guide). The HTML Generator is configured using the ARIS Business Server arisserver.cfg file and uses the templates located in the <ARIS Business Server>\templates\htmlgen directory. It is launched every time a database is created, deleted or renamed.

Installations The following directories are created: \lan This is the start directory commonly used. It runs the ARIS Platform Java-based products as an applet and enables direct access to the ARIS Business Server. \ssl If you select this directory for launching ARIS Platform Java-based products, the data exchange is encrypted (see chapter SSL Encryption of Data Transmission Using Secure Socket Layer in the Administration Guide). \app If you select this directory for launching ARIS Platform Java-based products, it is run as an application, not as an applet (see chapter Execution as Applet or Application in the Administration Guide). Please note that the output and backup paths must be modified accordingly in the <htmlgen> section of the arisserver.cfg file. If you are using several ARIS Business Servers, you have to adjust the paths on the computer on which ARIS Site Manager is installed. Example: <outputpath path="e:/inetpub/wwwroot/aris70"/> <backuppath path="e:/inetpub/wwwroot/aris70/backup"/> This section describes the steps the installation program performs when you install ARIS Web Client Components.

Installation Scenarios
An overview of all possible installation modes is provided in chapter 2. Step-by-step instructions for each type of installation are provided in chapter 3. This section includes sample scenarios. They help you identify the correct configuration for your installation. In principle, you should determine your requirements based on the following questions: 1. Do you intend to work with ARIS Platform on one single computer? In this case, a local installation is sufficient (see chapter 3.1.1). If several users are to work with ARIS Platform simultaneously, consider the following questions: 2. How many users do you expect to be working with ARIS Platform at the same time? The answer to this question determines which database server you can use and how many ARIS Business Servers you need. If up to 50 users will be working with ARIS Platform, you can install a default server (see chapter 3.2.1.1). The standard database system is also installed when you perform this installation. If more than 50 users will be working with ARIS Platform, you have to install ARIS Business Server and the database server on different computers, and you need to use a database system other than the standard database system. Decide how many ARIS Business Servers are to be used. 3. Will you be using ARIS Platform Java-based products (e.g. ARIS Business Architect) as an application or via a browser? ARIS Platform Java-based products can be installed or run via a browser. Launching the programs via a browser results in automatic software distribution. In this case, you need ARIS Web Client Components (see chapter 3.2.1.4). If you install Java-based products (see chapter 3.1) on the client computers you do not need to install ARIS Web Client Components on the server. Furthermore, you can avoid possible JRE-related problems as the appropriate JRE is installed and used. Any previously installed JRE version that is used by your other programs will remain

ARIS

Additional Installation Information and Principles unchanged. In the event of an update, you must perform a separate update for each client computer you installed if you do not use the auto update function. Using the auto-update function, you can automatically update installed clients from a central server (see the Administration Guide for more details). Of course, mixed application scenarios are possible in which ARIS Platform Java-based products are launched via a browser on some client computers and installed on other client computers. Regardless of whether ARIS Platform Java-based products are launched via a browser or installed, they can be operated in the WAN (for the definition of WAN, see the glossary in the Administration Guide). If you install the default server (see question 2), ARIS Web Client Components are also installed. In this case, for your Web server you only need to enter the path to ARIS Web Client Components (<ARIS installation directory>\Server\HTML) if you want to launch Java-based products via a browser. To install several ARIS Business Servers (see question 2), you can perform the user-defined installation (see chapter 3.2.1.2). You can thus install individual components separately: You can install several ARIS Business Servers. You can install ARIS Web Client Components on any computer, e.g. in a directory on your Web server. You can install ARIS Site Manager with the standard database system or another database system on a separate computer. 4. Do you intend to use Java-based products for modeling on the Intranet or Internet? The answer to this question determines how your network is to be scaled or whether encryption measures are required for data exchange (see chapter SSL - Encryption of Data Transmission Using Secure Socket Layer in the Administration Guide), for example. 5. Do you want to transfer large quantities of data or complex model structures from ARIS to ARIS Business Optimizer?

Special Features - ARIS Client and ARIS Business Server on the Same Computer
ARIS Client and ARIS Business Server use shared components that can only be installed once on each computer. Therefore, please bear these special features in mind when ARIS Client and ARIS Business Server are installed on the same computer. If you make any changes to ARIS Client or ARIS Business Server, you must ensure they both have the same version after these changes and that they are installed with the same languages: When you update a version, you must consequently ensure that it applies to both ARIS Business Server and ARIS Client. When you install additional languages, they must be installed for both ARIS Business Server and ARIS Client.

5.5.1

Installation
ARIS Client is already installed on the computer. If you subsequently install ARIS Business Server, its installation directory will automatically be integrated into the ARIS Toolset directory structure (<ARIS installation directory>\server). This means that in this case you do not need to enter the installation directory for ARIS Business Server a second time. When installing ARIS Business Server you must select the same languages as you did when installing ARIS Client. To find out which languages have been installed for ARIS Platform, run ARIS Platform Setup again and select the Modify option. The languages you installed are those enabled on the Select Language page of ARIS Setup. Once you have determined which languages are installed, click on Cancel. ARIS Business Server is already installed on the computer If you subsequently install an ARIS Client, its files and directories will automatically be integrated into the ARIS Business Server directory structure.
