In 7.2 there was an option to run a macro using a command line:
C:\>"C:\Program Files\ARIS7.0\JavaClient\ARIS Business Architect 7.0.exe" a LOCAL ur system pw **** fg 8ba7ed50-1673-11db-6bea-0010c6a68745 mi ARISWEB/50c133d0-a273-11dc-25e8-0019b9e395f1 mx dflash dl fr sd 1
Does anyone knows how to do the same in 9 and what are the required parameters?
Here's an example. The following command line executed in folder C:\SoftwareAG\ARIS9.8\client
starts the installed ARIS client *, connects to server localhost on tenant default,
opens the model Start model in database United Motor Group,
using the filter Default, database language en on locale US,
and runs the macro "Layout models using default palette" on model "Start model"
aris.exe passwd manager user system tenant default server localhost macroid 29a523a0-2432-11e3-6691-5cf9dd7305ef macrocontext m"United Motor Group":bf2a9d60-7cb8-11dc-2729-000bcd0cce4e filterguid b960abb0-ae60-11e2-523e-c13dc379a10e dblang en dblangCountry US
Please note, as ARIS 9 requires a connection profile with a server, tenant, user, password, database, and filter, the above command line either prompts the current user if a matching profile isn't available, or, when a matching profile is found, the client opens up and the model will be layouted. But the model won't be opened up. Open the Start model in datavase United Motor Group to check the result. It's not nice for testing macros good enough.
The above GUID values for the macro, model and filter have to be looked up in ARIS Architect on tab Administration.
The above parameter macrocontext is set to m as for model but could also be:
m: the model as OID or GUID
f: filter
g: group als OID
d: database as name
o: object def, as OID or GUID
Also, note the put "a database name with blanks" into quotation marks.
*) Of course, besides the installed ARIS client (aris.exe) you could also run the macro for a downloaded ARIS client via java.exe -jar <ARIS Launcher JAR file> <parameter list>.
