Managing the Rational DOORS database server
You can set a password for the database server, start and stop the database server, check user connections, and use the command line to perform actions on the database server.
- Setting a password for the database server
When the Rational® DOORS® database server is installed, it does not have a password, so anyone can manage
the server. To control who manages your database server, you can set a password by
using the database server administration tool.
- Starting the database server on Windows
The Rational DOORS database server runs as a service, which you can start and stop using the Control Panel. The database server starts automatically when the computer starts, and reads configuration information from the registry. You can also start the database server using the command line, with switches to override the configuration information in the registry.
- Starting the database server on Linux systems
When the Rational
DOORS database server starts up on a Linux machine,
it reads configuration information from environment variables. You can use command-line
switches on the doorsd command to override the environment variables.
- Stopping the database server
You can use the Rational
DOORS database server administration tool on
Windows machines to stop database
servers running on either Windows or Linux
systems.
- Using the command line to install and remove Rational DOORS database server services
Use the command line to remove and reinstall the Rational DOORS database server service, and to install and remove additional Rational DOORS database server services.
- Checking which users are connected to the database server
Use the Rational
DOORS database server administration tool on Windows machines to check which users are connected to database servers on
either Windows or Linux systems. The Rational
DOORS client only makes a connection to the server when it
needs to read data from disk or write data to disk. It closes the connection as soon as the data
transfer is completed.
- Command-line switches for the database server
You can use command-line switches to set options for the dbadmin
command and to manage the IBM® Rational DOORS
database server.
