Appendix III: Adding Applications to a Project

1 min read

When a project starts, it may wish to use several applications and potentially language Packages.
This section explains how to add an application to the Project Repository. For reference, the following steps provide instructions for installing a Simulation Management (SM) application. The steps might differ depending on the user’s application to integrate with Aras Innovator.
The following steps outline the process of adding an SM application:

  1. Determine the required version for application installation by comparing the current version of the Aras Innovator with the specified name of the Application to be installed in the Aras Support Matrix.

  2. Download the Simulation Management CD image from the Aras FTP site and unzip the file on the local computer.
  3. Copy the Aras Innovator folder to the Repository overwriting the existing \Innovator folder and all its contents.
  4. Copy the content from the Import folder and paste it into AML Packages folder.
  5. Update the Import Manifest file. The following line is present in the Import.mf file:
    <package name="com.aras.innovator.solution.SM" path="SM\Import" />

  1. Commit the changes with an appropriate message.
  2. Run the .\BuildAndDeploy.ps1 script to ensure that updates build successfully.
  3. After successful execution of the .\BuildAndDeploy.ps1 script, commit and push the changes.
  4. Once changes are pushed, create a Pull request (PR) and merge them. For instructions on creating a PR, refer to the Creating a Pull Request section.
  5. The Continuous Integration Pipeline will execute successfully after the merge.
  6. Create a Tag on the latest Commit to generate a new Baseline. For instructions, refer to the Generating New Baseline section.
