Does anybody have any experience of running Doors over Citrix?
We’re looking to move from Doors as a standard thick client installation across to Citrix, but are unsure of how Doors manages DXL which would normally be stored within Doors\lib\DXL on the client. Any ‘lessons learnt’ out there? |

Citrix seems to be superior in every way to all configurations other than Clients connected directly to a Server. Its much better than DOORSNet. If you map a Citrix drive to the local Client (where the user originally logged on), then you can do reports/archives on Citrix and them move them to your client.
DXL is the same, but you need to remember that the Citrix box is the "client". You connect to Citrix and run doors.exe from there. So your Citrix needs to have the DXL loaded, and if you want custom menus, update the registry "addins" and "projectaddins" on the Citrix computer. I suppose if Citrix maps to a true-client drive (Citrix "R:" is your "C:"), then you COULD run menu-dxl from the client. We do that for political reasons (don't want the Citrix owners to see the DXL) but its REAL slow: loading menu's for each module takes about 25 seconds; and that's a real drag for users and a disaster for DXL that open a lot of modules. - Louie |

We've been using Doors over Citrix for a while and were engaged in Telelogics Citrix Trials. Quite simply without it we wouldn't be able to use doors for our complete user base.
We retained the map of DXL libraries to be the default i.e. in the installed directory on the citrix server. This means that any menu items added are centrally controlled by the admin team, it's a good idea saves a lot of problems by having a central store of DXL, rather then ad-hoc hacks ------------------------- Graham Stradling, Alcatel-Lucent. |

This is definitely a benefit, however it is also a problem. As the DB admin, and maintenance scripts I have anyone can see. At our PKW the trainer recommened having two (or more) installs of the DOORS client on the citrix server. One "general" version for most users wither their scripts then another "Admin" version that has the whole kitchen etc. They obviously both map to using the same data. On the citrix server you then publish the two versions separately and to different people. |
