Hello,
We are implementing ARIS 98.1.0.1.021439 in the company and would like to create two databases. One for development, another one for publishing. Since I am not experienced in administration of ARIS database, I would like to know how much effort it will be to administrate both databases. Or is there a more simple possibility to distinguish development and approved processes.
Thank you for your help in advanced.

Hello, Darja.
It's quite common approach. You have DEV database with approval procedure and PRD with locked processes. As soon as change is done and approved you unlock PRD database and move changes there. But there is one very important moment - moving from DEV to PRD should be done with database merge (so GUIDs of objects must be identical). The best way - create two databases and copy (merge) structure from one database to another one. After this you can make changes in DEV database, make drag-and-drop (merge) and changes will be replicated to another database.
Another scenario that you can use is ARIS Publisher Server. It's another RDBMS where you can publish approved processes. And viewers has access to Publisher via web-browser.

Hello Maxim,
thanks for your quick reply and your recommendation!
Sorry, can you tell me what do you mean by merging? I was trying to drag and drop changes between two databases and it does not work. The folder the changed model was draged to was the same as in the development database. So, I was asking my-self if you mean the folder structure by GUIDs....
What about the objects which are created in the development data base, they also should be imported in the public database?
Thanks in advanced

Dear Darja,
Merging of models always include the embedded objects. You don't need to worry about that. Drop the folder on the target database icon. You can't select a specific folder, because ARIS will use the folder structure from the source database and (if needed) rebuild it in the target database.
I recommend you to attend an ARIS training to learn about that and other features:
Cheers
Rune
