Read this topic before you install Rational® DOORS® on
Citrix. It contains general information about steps to take before
you run the installation, and performance information.
Before you install Rational DOORS on Citrix:
- To run Rational DOORS on Citrix, you must be using
floating licenses.
- Terminal services must be activated on the host machine before
Citrix can be installed. These steps must take place before any applications
are installed. When you install Citrix, it is useful to rename the
drives (for example, change the drives from A: C: and D: to M: N:
and O:). Making this change allows the Citrix clients to map their
local drives (through redirection) to the drive letters of A: C: and
D:. Also, increase the swap file to 2.5 times the amount of memory
available. Also increase the registry file size appropriately to accommodate
the multiple current_user_keys required.
- To install Rational DOORS on Citrix, you must be in
“install mode”.
- Configure Rational DOORS to display in “Seamless
mode”. You might experience problems if you display in “Desktop mode”.
- Because of improvements to performance, the Rational DOORS client
only displays colors correctly for text highlighting when using the
16-bit color depth resolution in the Citrix ICA client.
For the best performance, install the Rational DOORS database
server on a different machine to the Citrix server. To optimize performance,
place both machines as geographically close to one another as possible.
The Rational DOORS license server can be located on either
machine, or a separate machine.
For information on Rational DOORS integrations and the Citrix
environment, see the integration's own user documentation.
