Installing Rational DOORS as a non-admin user
When you install the Rational® DOORS® database server, you log
in to the machine as a user with administrator privileges. However,
you can also install the Rational DOORS client as a non-admin user
providing the system administrator has set up the non-admin user with
a range of options.
Problems installing the software
If there are problems installing any of the products in
the Rational DOORS product family, there are some solutions
to try before you contact our Support team for help.
Rational DOORS API and sockets
The Rational DOORS API only works with TCP/IP
communication. Socket-based communication in UNIX is not supported.
Colors
Display
cards that support only 256 colors might result
in unusual color effects.
DISPLAY variables in Solaris
A Solaris Rational DOORS client can now run in batch
mode without a DISPLAY environment variable being
set. If the batch-mode DXL attempts to use the GUI and DISPLAY has
not been defined, Rational DOORS exits. If DISPLAY has
been defined, Rational DOORS attempts to connect to the
specified X display, even if the batch-mode DXL does not use a GUI.
As a result, DISPLAY must refer to a valid X display
that the user is authorized to connect to.
Dual boot machines
If you have a dual boot machine and Rational DOORS 9.3
is installed on one of the operating systems you cannot install it
on the other operating system as well.
