The Rational® DOORS® eXtension Language (DXL)
is an easy-to-learn scripting language that you can use to control
and extend Rational DOORS functions.
- Automate routine or complex tasks, such as calculating attribute
values.
- Respond to events by triggering custom programs.
- Add your own options to Rational DOORS menus.
DXL syntax is like C and C++.
For a full description of DXL, see the DXL Reference Manual, which is available as
a PDF and from the Help menu.
DXL encryption tool
DXL encrypted with Rational DOORS 9.0 or earlier does not work with later
versions of Rational DOORS. If you have user-encrypted DXL with Rational DOORS 9.0 or earlier, your DXL needs to be
re-encrypted using the DXL Encryption Tool.
The tool, and instructions
on how to use it, are available from Rational support at DXL Encryption Tool.
