Configuring Rational DOORS to be accessed by external links in Citrix 5.0

You must configure Rational® DOORS® to allow external links to use Citrix software to access locations in Rational DOORS. This topic applies to Citrix XenApp 5.0.

Procedure

  1. On the Citrix server, publish the protocolhandler.exe file to accept parameters:
    C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.5\bin\protocolhandler.exe %*
  2. On the desktop where the Citrix Rational DOORS client is accessed, copy the following code 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 that contains the protocol handler and the Rational DOORS applications.
    • protocolhandler is the application name as published on the Citrix server.
    • -r 120 -url %1 are the parameters that are passed to the protocol handler application in the Citrix server. When you click a URL, %1 is replaced by the URL string.
