Starting Rational DOORS Web Access on Solaris or Linux

To start the system you must start the following processes in the correct order.

Before you begin

Make sure the Rational® DOORS® database server is already running.

About this task

Note: If users and groups are managed in Rational Directory Server, and the directory server is backed up or restarted, users are unable to log in to the web client until all the interoperation servers are restarted.
Note: For instructions on starting Rational DOORS Web Access on Linux when the server starts, see technote 1420620.

Procedure

  1. Log in as the owner of Rational DOORS Web Access.
  2. Start the broker by running broker.start.sh, which is in the root directory of the Rational DOORS Web Access installation on the system hosting the broker.
  3. Set the following environment variables on the system hosting the interoperation server:
    DOORSHOME=doors-home-path
    DOORSDATA=36677@myserver
    PATH=$DOORSHOME/bin:$PATH
    export DOORSHOME PATH DOORSDATA
    Note: This DOORSHOME variable relates to where the interoperation server is installed, and might be different from the DOORSHOME variable you are using for the database server.
  4. Navigate to $DOORSHOME/bin and start the interoperation server with its command-line attributes in the following format:
    ./doors9 -interop –data port@myserver –brokerHost myBroker –brokerPort brokerport &
    where:
    • port is the port number the Rational DOORS database server is using and myserver is the name of the system where the Rational DOORS database server is installed.
    • myBroker is the name of the system hosting the broker.
    • brokerport is the port that the broker is using, by default 61616.
  5. Start the Rational DOORS Web Access server by running server.start.sh, which is in the root directory of the Rational DOORS Web Access installation on the system hosting the server.
