ARIS Technical Help

Create a tenant

After the installation of ARIS the default tenant is available. If you need additional tenants to provide different sets of databases, users, configurations or ARIS methods you can easily create tenants. If you are going to create additional tenants for ARIS10 to migrate data from ARIS 9.8.7 or later, make sure to use identical names in both ARIS versions. You can also create tenants using the ARIS Administration's command line tools or Tenant Management.

Prerequisites

Warning

Only use up to 25 lowercase ASCII characters and numbers for tenant names. Names must begin with a character. Special characters, such as the underscore (_), as well as characters in Chinese, Cyrillic, or Arabic, cannot be used.

Procedure. Procedure
  1. Start ARIS Cloud Controller (ACC) and establish a connection.

  2. Enter: create tenant <tenant name> username=<user name of a user holding the required privileges> password=<this user's password>.

    Example: create tenant test01 master.tenant.user.name = admin master.tenant.user.pwd= tenantmanager123

    You can even change parameters for the new tenant. You must specify additional parameters in case you use an external database management system, for example (Oracle):

    create tenant test01 database.admin.user="system" database.admin.password="manager" dbinstanceid="db0000000000" database.schema.tablespace.default="ARISDATA" database.schema.tablespace.temporary="TEMP" database.schema.name=aris_test01" database.schema.password="*ARIS!1dm9n#yy"

    The tenant test01 will be created.

  3. The administrator must import licenses, create users and user groups and assign privileges and licenses for the test01 tenant.

  4. Start an ARIS client and log in using this tenant. The system database will be created for that tenant.

The tenant is created and can be backed up.
