The DXL library

The DXL library contains a selection of DXL programs that you can run in the DXL interaction window, or use as attribute DXL or layout DXL.

The DXL library is in the /lib/dxl directory in the Rational® DOORS® home directory.

You can access the DXL library by selecting Tools > Edit DXL, and clicking Browse. You can also browse the DXL library when you create DXL attributes and layout DXL columns.

The options that are available in the DXL library are relevant to where you are when you access the library. For example, if you are creating a DXL attribute, the appropriate DXL programs are available.

The results of running a DXL program depend on whether you select the Edit DXL menu option in a module or in the database explorer. For example, some DXL programs must be run from within a module, and fail if you run them from the database.

Note: If Run or Edit are disabled, the database might be set up to stop users from editing and running DXL. In this instance, contact the database manager.
