I currently have Doors 6.0 SR1 on Windows 2000 server platform and I would like to archive my projects once a week at a set time and schedule without having to go into Doors to manually do it. I was wondering if this can be done? Does anyone have a dxl script that could be used with the windows task scheduler to automate the process?

Here is a crude DXL that does an auto archieve on all projects. I have only used it in V5.2, so I don't know how it will work in V6. As I recall, this will fail to archieve projects if there are users in the project.

I have tried it on the v6.0sr1 and it works great

Has anyone runned the script in batch mode that can be added to a scheduled task?

You can use the "-b" command to run a DXL in batch mode. There is no problem putting this into the Windows Scheduler, right after the "doors.exe" statement.

The problem is that if you use Passwords to log into DOORS, you need to put the user and the password also in the Command line; thus your password exists unencrypted. That "illegal" when it comes to classified government work and "inappropriate" for all others.

Anyway, such a command line may look like this:
.../bin/doors.exe -u Landale -P Password -b archive.dxl

Practice your batch by defining a desktop icon with the above command line.

The DXL pretty much needs to know its running in Batch mode. print, acks, infoBoxes are output to the standard device, whatever that is. I don't recall what will happen if you batch a DXL that displays a dialog box.
