Hi
We´ve been using ARIS Implementation Platform for a couple of years. We´ve also started using ARIS IT Architect (from the ARIS Design platform recently).
In the beginning, ARIS was used isolated in an ERP-implementation project, where many different peolpe used ARIS to define business processes and IT-system (operational and functional views). There was never a governance model for using ARIS (or working with BPM or EA for that matter). There was one database for all the processes and (unfortunatly) another database for the IT-architecture, dont ask me why, not my call. A lot of databases and filters has meanwhile been created, uploaded, exported, re-defined, imported, since different people apparently find ARIS exciting and wants to learn/experiment. This has caused extensions, with new object available in the ARIS Method, but also, as it seems, decreases of the ARIS Method and causing some conventions not to work.
As a vital step to implement our governance model we would now like to define a new convention based on the default ARIS Method. It sounds simple to just make db back-ups and then re-install the platform on the ARIS server? but am I naive to think so? has anyone experienced the same thing them selves and performed the activity?
Question:
1. Is this a more complex activity than I imagine?
2. How do I re-install ARIS platform on the server?
