Setting up the Rational DOORS database server

You must set up the Rational® DOORS® database server to communicate with the interface services broker. You must add Data Change Notifications (DCN) parameters to the command line to set up communication. DCNs are messages that contain information about changes made to Rational DOORS data.

About this task

To set up the Rational DOORS database server you must run dbadmin, located in the \IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.3\bin directory on the Rational DOORS client machine.
Note: On Solaris and Linux, dbadmin is located in the $DOORSHOME/bin directory.

Procedure

Run dbadmin in a command line in the following format:
dbadmin -data 36677@myserver -dcnEnable -dcnBrokerUri “tcp://myBroker:61616” -dcnChannelName “dcn”
Parameter Description
–data 36677@myserver Identifies the Rational DOORS database server, where 36677 is the default port number the database server is using and myserver is the name of the machine where the database server is installed.
-dcnEnable Enables the DCNs.
–dcnBrokerUri “tcp://myBroker:61616 Locates the interface services broker, where myBroker is the machine hosting the broker and 61616 is the default port that the broker uses.
-dcnChannelName “dcn” Sets up the DCN channel. The channel name is always dcn.
