Is it possible to set up DOORS 6.0 to look at either the database on the server (port 36677), or a local database on my laptop. I am running Win 2k, and so I don't have a .ini file, it is all sorted out in the registry. I have tried using the -d switch in the desktop shortcut as for version 5.2, but it doesn't seem to have any effect, I just get into the server database.
I have a hardware dongle licence, so that is not causing any issues. Hazel ------------------------- Hazel Woodcock |

Thanks Tony,
I first had to uninstall DOORS 6. This was only possible once I had broken it first through stomping around in an uninformed way. I then re-installed a standalone version and created a shortcut to the network database. Everything apears to be working... Hazel ------------------------- Hazel Woodcock |

DOORS v6 and presumably v7 do NOT allow "mapped drives" like v5 allowed. In v5, you would go to the server by default but could create a local shortcut with <doors.exe -d "c:\DoorsDB">. Not so in v6/v7. To run a local DB you need to install the server software as well.
Goodman's solution will work but there is no particular reason your client needs to go to the local DB by default. Set the server to point to the local file system but set the client to go to the network. Then you need a local short cut that looks lile <doors.exe -d 36677@MyLocalMachine>. I'm sure there is a way to load two versions of the server; perhaps one is "36677" and the next "36678" on your client, each pointing to different C: drive folders, and thus really have two DBs on your machine. - Louie |

I believe you also have to run the databases as consoles, not as services. This means having a Command window open with the doorsd (database daemon) running for each database you want to run locally.
Alec OOPS. Nevermind. I thought you mean running two databases on one machine. -ac Edited: 2-Dec-2003 at 15:29 by Alec Witham Crawford |
