Read this topic before you install Rational® DOORS® on
Citrix. It contains general information about steps to take before
you run the installation, and performance information.
Before you install Rational DOORS on Citrix:
- To run Rational DOORS on Citrix, you must be using
floating licenses.
- Terminal services must be activated on the host computer before
Citrix can be installed. These steps must take place before any applications
are installed. When you install Citrix, it is useful to rename the
drives (for example, change the drives from A: C: and D: to M: N:
and O:). This change allows the Citrix clients to map their local
drives (through redirection) to the drive letters of A: C: and D:.
- Increase the swap file to 2.5 times the amount of memory available.
- Increase the registry file size appropriately to accommodate the
multiple current_user_keys required.
- To install Rational DOORS on Citrix, you must be in Install
mode.
- Configure Rational DOORS to display in Seamless
mode. You might experience problems if you display in Desktop
mode.
- Because of improvements to performance, the Rational DOORS client
displays only colors correctly for text highlighting when you are using
the 16-bit color depth resolution in the Citrix ICA client.
For the best performance, install the Rational DOORS database
server on a different computer to the Citrix server. To optimize performance,
place both computers as geographically close to one another as possible.
The Rational DOORS license server can be on either computer,
or a separate computer.
For information about Rational DOORS integrations and the Citrix
environment, see the integration's user documentation.
