Starting Rational DOORS from the command line

If you start Rational® DOORS® from the command line, you can use switches to override the registry settings.

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt and navigate to the bin directory of your Rational DOORS installation.
  2. To run Rational DOORS, type doors, followed by the switches that you want to use.
    For example, the following command starts Rational DOORS and opens the Car project in the database explorer:
    C:\> cd "c:\program files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.3\bin"
    C:\> doors -project Car 
    Note: There is a space between the switch (-project) and the parameter (Car).
    If the parameter contains a space, enclose it in quotation marks:
    C:\> cd "c:\program files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.3\bin"
    C:\> doors -project "My project" 
    If the parameter is a path that contains any spaces, enclose the full path in quotation marks:
    C:\> cd "c:\program files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.3\bin"
