You can extract data from Rational® DOORS® running
in secure mode. When running in secure mode, Rational DOORS limits
DXL access. If the trusted DXL is not defined in Rational DOORS,
no additional tasks need to be performed in Rational Publishing Engine.
If the trusted DXL setting is defined, you must configure Rational Publishing Engine to
work with Rational DOORS.
Procedure
- In your Rational DOORS installation,
locate the paths to the Addins and Batch
files directories:
- Open Rational DOORS.
- Right-click DOORS Database and
click Properties.
- In the Properties window, select DXL
Securities.
- Copy the source subfolder from Rational Publishing Engine installation
path to the Rational DOORS Addins
path.
- Copy the source subfolder from Rational Publishing Engine installation
path to the Rational DOORS Batch
files path.
- Specify the RPE_DXLLOCATION by running
the following command: msiexec.exe /i "path_to_\ratlPublishingEngine_version_Windows.msi"
/qn INSTALLDIR=“install_dir" LAPAGREE="Yes"
RPE_DXLLOCATION=“TRUSTED_DXL_LOCATION_PATH"
Note: Specify a full UNC path to the TRUSTED DXL LOCATION
PATH variable. Paths using mapped drive names cannot be
used as they are user-specific drives and might not be available to
all users.
Example
Silent installer example for
Rational Publishing Engine 1.1.1.2:
msiexec.exe
/i "path_to_\ratlPublishingEngine_1.1.2.2_Windows.msi"
/qn INSTALLDIR=“install dir" LAPAGREE="Yes" RPE_DXLLOCATION="TRUSTED_DXL_LOCATION_PATH"- About the TRUSTED_DXL_LOCATION_PATH:
- Example: \\Arakis\DOORS\trusted_dxl
- Must be the same path as the one in the Rational DOORS database
properties.
- Must be an absolute path and cannot contain system variables.
Example of bad value: %DOORS_SERVER%\DOORS\trusted_dxl where DOORS_SERVER is \\Arakis
- Must be an UNC path. The path cannot be a mapped drive letter
as drive mappings are user-specific drives and might not be accessible
from all user accounts, including the Local System account used by
NT Services, such as the Tomcat service. Example of bad value: Z:\trusted_dxl where Z: = \\Arakis\DOORS
- The path must not end with a backslash (\).
What to do next
Custom installation for
Rational DOORS in
Secure Mode:
- On the server, copy the Source subfolder
from the Rational Publishing Engine installation
folder into one of the Addins Path locations
specified in DOORS DB – DXL security property.
Because Rational Publishing Engine references
the included files using relative paths, the Rational DOORS DXL
runtime can retrieve them. The folder structure must be preserved.
The Source folder cannot be renamed.
- On the server, copy the Source subfolder
from the Rational Publishing Engine installation
folder in the location specified by Batch files path property
in Rational DOORS database
– DXL security property. The folder structure must be preserved. The Source folder
cannot be renamed.
- Define the RPE_DXLLOCATION variable to point
to the Batch files path. Rational Publishing Engine uses
this location as the startup location for the DXLs instead of the
default RPE_HOME. This value can be set through
the Rational Publishing Engine silent
installer.
