Licensing problem with Aris Business Publisher

Hello Björn,

managing ARIS licenses is a bit of a jungle.

The Publisher license and corresponding "extension packs" should be imported on the Publisher server during installation, in addition to loading it in Connect UMC. If you did not do it by means of the setup dialog, you can add it later (cf. Server Install Guide, provide license files for ARIS Publisher Server using ACC)

1. Save the license zip file on the Publisher server, e. g. d:/source/Publisher_Server_key.zip

2. Start ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC)

3. ACC+ localhost>stop businesspublisher_m

4. ACC+ localhost>enhance businesspublisher_m with license local file "d:/source/Publisher_Server_key.zip"

    (Note: forward slashes apply also on windows)

5. ACC+ localhost>start businesspublisher_m

The imported file name should show in:

%ARISHOME90%\server\bin\work\work_businesspublisher_m\base\webapps\businesspublisher\config\license\

In the UMC assign ARIS viewer licenses to all users/usergroups accessing Publisher exports.

Thank you Martin for the quick response!

Did not understand from the documentation that the license needs to be imported on the new server also. The license now works and I can login as the system user.

I can't see my users/usergroups created in UMC. I can see my test published export but as I can't see my usergroups I can't add access to the users with viewing licenses?

Hello Björn,

if you have Publisher configured to authenticate against the UMC (as you wrote: "I defined our old server as the UMC server...") then permissions and license assignments are managed only there - and in Aris Architect on the database level.

The usergroup/users to access to the publisher export must at least have read permission in the published database on your Design Server.

On the Publisher administrators page "profiles" you only need to activate the export and decide whether to allow anonymous access. An export profile is usually named as "Export name.Usergroup name.(Method Filter Name)"

Hope this helps, Martin

Hi,

Got this fixed, as I'm a new user I did not know that you also have to assign privileges on the database level. After that I got everything working as expected.

Thank you Martin for all your help.
