Creating a data source that refers to the XDC configuration

To set up the integration between IBM® Rational® DOORS® and IBM Rational Insight, you must create a data source that is based on the XML driver and that refers to the Rational DOORS XML data configuration (XDC) file.

Procedure

  1. In the Windows Control Panel, double-click the Administrative Tools and then double-click Data Sources (ODBC). The XML driver that is used in this task is a 32-bit ODBC driver. On Windows 64-bit operating systems, the driver is accessible by using only 32-bit ODBC data sources, which are available by using this executable file: %WINDIR%\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe.
  2. On the System DSN tab, click Add.
  3. In the Create New Data Source window, select IBM Rational XML ODBC Driver and then click Finish.
    The image shows the Create New Data Source window.
  4. In the IBM Rational XML ODBC Driver Setup window, in the Data Source Name field, type a unique name, such as DOORS9.5.
  5. In the Configuration field, enter the path to the XDC file that you configured, as described in Configuring the XML data configuration file.
  6. Click OK to save the new data source.

    If you move the doors_rrc403.xdc file or choose to use another version of the file, you must reconfigure the data source that you created.
