Integrating Rational Publishing Engine and Rational DOORS

When you integrate Rational® Publishing Engine with Rational DOORS®, you can generate documents directly from within Rational DOORS.
Note: You must configure Rational Publishing Engine to work with Rational DOORS when the trusted DXL setting is defined in Rational DOORS. See Extracting Rational DOORS data with DXL security settings.

Before you begin

Examine the Rational DOORS module that you intend to use and its contents. To locate the information center for your version of Rational DOORS, see About the Rational DOORS information center.
Tip: You can use the combination of module properties, object attributes, and views that are stored in the modules. Review the available views in a module for computed columns including traceability views, or perhaps Layout DXL columns. These views do not correspond to Rational DOORS attributes, but might be something that you would like to include in the report.

Installation

Install Rational DOORS before installing Rational Publishing Engine. Rational Publishing Engine must modify the registry key created by Rational DOORS.

During the Rational Publishing Engine installation, you have the option of installs the Rational DOORS add-in. When the add-in is installed, you can publish Rational Publishing Engine templates directly from Rational DOORS.

If Rational Publishing Engine is installed before Rational DOORS, the registry key is not updated and the Publish plugin contained in the Rational DOORS add-in cannot be found by Rational DOORS.
