Run macro with command line on ARIS 9

Dear Adar,

ARIS 9 supports macros via command line.

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>.

Cheers

Hi,

is the command line macroid or an equivalent function to acitivate macros via a command line supported in ARIS 10?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi! Rune's method still works in ARIS 10.0.14.

No, require manual inter of server connection propertires (For non local instance).
