DXL errors when running Rational DOORS reports

When you try to generate a document from either the Publish menu in IBM® Rational® DOORS® or the IBM Rational Publishing Engine Launcher, you receive a DXL error.

About this task

Error examples:
  • E- DXL: <Line3>could not open include file (source/DOORS/dxl/schema discovery/const.inc) (No such file or directory).
  • E- DXL: <C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Rational\Publishing Engine\1.1.2.2\source\DOORS\dxl\doors driver\getDOORSVersion.dxl:>could not open include file (source/DOORS/dxl/doors driver/getDOORSVersion.inc) (No such file or directory).

The getDOORSVersion.inc files exists, what is wrong?

Resolving this issue depends on how Rational Publishing Engine refers to the .inc files needed for the Rational DOORS data extraction.

In Rational Publishing Engine, the .inc files are not referred to with absolute paths. The changes are needed to cope with the new DXL security mechanisms in Rational DOORS 9.3.

In Rational Publishing Engine, the full path is built by the Rational DOORS DXL interpreter by using the relative path and the “base folder” specified in the addins property. This property can be set from command line or in the registry in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS\9.X\Config. In some installations, the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Telelogic\DOORS\9.X\Config also exists and overwrites the values set in HKLM registry key.

Note: The command-line entry overrides the values that are set in the registry.
