Configuring the redirector service

You must configure the Rational® DOORS® redirector service, the server interface services server, and the Rational DOORS database server.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the directory where you extracted festival-win32.zip.
  2. Open server\festival\config\doorsRedirector.properties in a text editor.
  3. Set the doors.url.prefix value to match the Rational DOORS database server that is communicating with the server interface services in the form doors://host:port/, where host is the name of the Rational DOORS database server machine and port is the port number it uses (typically 36677).
  4. Set the dwa.url.prefix value to match the server interface services server, in the form http://host:port/dwa/, where host is the name of the server interface services server machine, and port is the port number it uses (typically 8080).
  5. Optionally:
    • Disable forwarding from the redirector service to the server interface services by setting <entry key="dwa.enable">false</entry>
    • Disable forwarding from the redirector service to Rational DOORS by setting <entry key="doors.enable">false</entry>
  6. Save and close the file.
  7. Open server\festival\config\festival.xml in a text editor.
  8. Find the line beginning <f:property name="published.url.prefix".
  9. Change MYHOSTNAME to the name of the machine where the redirector service is installed, then save and close the file.
  10. Start doorsd then configure the Rational DOORS database server so that generated URLs refer to the redirector service. In the bin directory of the database server installation, run the command:
    dbadmin -data port@host -urlPrefix http://yourdwaserver:port/doors/redirector

    where dwaserver is the name of the server interface services server machine, and port is the port number it uses (typically 8080).

  11. Restart the server interface services components.
