Good morning everyone,

I'm trying to upload an .db file into ARIS Business Architect, but it doesn't work. So I'm wondering if this could be done.

I'm using ARIS Business Architect for SAP 7.2. and my source file is Data Base File (.db). 

It is possible that this can not be done?

Or there is a possibility to upload such type of file in my ARIS database?

 

Thank you so much for your help,

Veronica

Ciao Veronica,

ARIS has a feature to backup databases in proprietary .adb files, which you can use to restore the database, obviously.

I have no idea, where you got your .db files from, but if it is anything non-ARIS, it must fail. What kind of data source is the data you are trying to import into ARIS? There are quite a few methods available to import different things. The simplest one being Excel.

Saluti, M. Zschuckelt

Hallo M. Zschuckelt,

the file type .db was supplied by a customer who said to me that he has backupped the whole server. I've tried to explain him that it is not possible to have from a back up a .db file type; not to upset the customer, I tried to import the .db hoping that the process could work as usual and that's why I have opened the thread.

The only solution, that actually I consider, is to send the customer a user guide  explaining how to back up the server, do yoou agree?

 

Thanks for your time,

Veronica

Ciao Veronica,

so your customer backed up the "whole server". As with all backup methods the question is, how he did it (using which program) and what he actually backed up. If he somehow dumped the underlying database of the business server (e.g. Oracle(TM)) I see little chance of you importing that via ABA. If that was the case you would have to use the means of the Oracle(TM) (or whichever) database to do a restore. And if that actually would work, I don't know.

If he is referring to the ARIS Business Server as the "whole server" (I assume it's 7.2, since you are talking about ABA) it may be he is talking about the server configuration and not any database content. By default, such a file would have an .acb suffix and you would have to do the restore using the ARIS Admintool (a command line tool) and not ABA.

So the key question you should ask your customer is, how he produced that file and what exactly he backed up in it. Everything else is speculation.

At the end I have discovered that the customer sent me all database but not the ARIS one.

So I have explained to him the right procedure and now the import (with the correct file) has been a success.

Thank you M. Zschuckelt for your help!

Have a nice day!
