Identifying the database uniform resource name

The database uniform resource name (URN) is used when you start the server interface services. You need the name before you can configure the interface services server to communicate with the broker, the license server, and the Rational® DOORS® database server.

Procedure

  1. If the Rational DOORS database server is not already running, then start it.
  2. Start the Rational DOORS client and log in to the database.
  3. In either the database explorer or a module window, click Tools > Edit DXL.
  4. Type the following DXL script into the DXL input pane:
    print getDatabaseIdentifier()
  5. Click Run to run the program. A 16 digit hexadecimal number is output, for example 38f5c98719f27b6d. This number forms part of the database URN. In this example, the database URN is: urn:rational:ers-38f5c98719f27b6d:
  6. Make a note of the database URN. You need it when you are configuring the interface services server.
