Configuring the integration between Rational DOORS and Rational Publishing Engine

Some special configuration is required after completing the installation of the products and, if necessary, deployment of the remote applications. You must configure Rational® Publishing Engine to work with Rational DOORS® when the trusted DXL setting is defined in Rational DOORS.

Before you begin

Note: The Rational Publishing Engine installation on Windows updates several registry entries for Rational DOORS. If Rational DOORS is installed before Rational Publishing Engine, the registries are updated for you. If Rational DOORS is installed after Rational Publishing Engine, you must update these registries yourself. To update the registries yourself, you can either:
  • Open IBM® Installation Manager and click Modify and complete the wizard for Rational Publishing Engine to reset the configuration for Rational DOORS. This modification updates the latest registry changes made by the Rational Publishing Engine installer.
  • Update the registries manually.

About this task

For detailed information about this installation process, see the interactive installation guide.

Procedure

Installation overview:

  1. Install the license key server with valid licenses for Rational Publishing Engine and for all of the IBM products that you are using as data sources.
  2. Install Rational DOORS. Rational Publishing Engine must modify the registry key created by Rational DOORS, so Rational DOORS must be installed before Rational Publishing Engine.
  3. Install IBM Rational Publishing Engine.
    1. Optional: Install the Rational DOORS Add-in with Rational Publishing Engine to generate documents from the Rational DOORS user interface.
  4. Configure Rational Publishing Engine to work with Rational DOORS when the trusted DXL setting is defined in Rational DOORS.
