This topic provides instructions for installing the Rational® DOORS® Web Access server and the Rational DOORS Web
Access broker on Windows.
Before you begin
Copy the installation file to the machine or machines that
you want to install the web access server and the web access broker
on.
Note: The machine you install the web access server on must have
8.3 file names enabled. If you install on a machine that does not
have 8.3 file names enabled, the web access server does not start.
Also, if you install on a machine that does not have 8.3 file names
enabled, and you then enable and restart the web access server, the
server will still not start. You must uninstall the web access server
completely, enable 8.3 file names, install again (preferably to a
new directory), and then restart.
To install the web access
server and the web access broker on different machines, repeat the
instructions on each machine.
Procedure
- Choose the machine where you want to install the files.
- Double-click the installation file, and then follow the
instructions.
Note: You can also run the installation file
from the command-line.
