System database

This content includes filters, templates, fonts and font formats, but also ARIS Method and all common files, report scripts, scheduled reports, semantic checks and macros.

The system database is created automatically while the first user is logging in to ARIS. The content is available to all databases of this tenant. The following ARIS Server Administrator commands can be used to save and restore this data centrally:

backupsystemdb

Saves the central system database that contains data such as filters, model templates, and scripts in an ADB file in a directory <archivedir>.

Syntax

backupsystemdb <archivedir> [<alternatename>]

restoresystemdb

Restores the central system database that contains data such as filters, model templates, and scripts from a system database backup file (ADB) <archive>. You can also update the system database using the updatesystemdb command

Syntax

restoresystemdb <archive>

updatesystemdb

After performing an update setup, update the system configuration of each operational tenant (filters, templates, and scripts) based on the supplied system database (<ARIS installation package>..\Content\SystemDB\*.adb). Any content you have created is retained.

Syntax

updatesystemdb <archive>

You can execute the command for several tenants at the same time.
