Manually updating the Rational DOORS registries

Rational® Publishing Engine edits the system registries for using Rational DOORS® add-in during installation. In some circumstances when the Rational Publishing Engine installer does not run on a computer, like when the Remote services application is manually deployed or when an application is built on the Rational Publishing Engine Java™ API, you must update these registries manually.

About this task

If you installed the client applications and the Rational DOORS add-in with the Rational Publishing Engine installer, you are not required to complete this task.

Procedure

  1. Open the system registry for your computer. For more information, see the documentation for your operating system.
  2. Locate the Rational DOORS registry. Examples:
    • Rational DOORS 9.4 on a 64-bit Windows registry entry example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Telelogic\DOORS\9.4\Config
    • Rational DOORS 9.3 on a 32-bit Windows registry entry example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS\9.3\Config
  3. Open the addins value. If you do not have an addins value, create one with the name addins and with the type String.
  4. Add the path that is also used for the RPE_HOME variable as the data. Separate multiple paths with a semicolon (;). Example: C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\Rational\Publishing Engine;C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\Rational\Publishing Engine_1
    Important: If the addins value already existed and you did not create it, ensure that you do not overwrite values that are already entered. Append the Rational Publishing Engine path to the end of the data list.
  5. Click OK to save the changes.
