Configuring external links

You must configure Rational® DOORS® to allow external links to access locations in Rational DOORS through Citrix.

Procedure

  1. On the Citrix server, publish protocolhandler.exe to accept parameters:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.3\bin\protocolhandler.exe %*
  2. On the desktop where the Citrix Rational DOORS client is accessed, copy the following to a .reg file and run it to add it to the registry:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors]
    @="URL:DOORS protocol"
    "URL Protocol"=""
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\Default Icon]
    @=""
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\shell]
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\shell\open]
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\shell\open\command]
    @="\"C:\\Program Files\\Citrix\\ICA Client\\pn.exe\"
    /pn:DOORS_CITRIX /app:protocolhandler /param:\"-r 120 -url %1\""
    • DOORS_CITRIX is the application set name containing the protocolhandler and the Rational DOORS applications.
    • protocolhandler is the application name as published in the Citrix server.
    • -r 120 -url %1 are the parameters that are passed to the protocolhander application in the Citrix server. When you click a URL, %1 is replaced by the URL string.
