Starting Rational DOORS Web Access on Windows systems

To start the system you must start the following processes.

About this task

If users and groups are managed in the 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.

When you run steps 1, 3 and 4, a command-prompt window opens for each process. Do not close these windows.

Note: For instructions on starting Rational DOORS Web Access as a Microsoft Windows service, see technote 1394655. This prevents processes from stopping after the administrator logs out of the server. Technote 1457046 contains additional information related to running Rational DOORS Web Access as a Microsoft Windows service.

Procedure

  1. Start the broker by running broker.start.bat. This file is in the directory where you installed the broker.
  2. Start the Rational DOORS® database server as a service on the system hosting the database.
  3. Run the interoperation server on the system hosting it with its command-line attributes in the following format:
    doors.exe –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.
    The following example from an actual installation includes a maximum memory allocation:
    doors.exe -interop -data 36677@doors -brokerHost doors -brokerPort 61616 -maxMemory 512
  4. Start the Rational DOORS Web Access server by running server.start.bat. The file is in the directory where you installed the server. When you start the system for the first time, you might need to wait while the system unpacks files.
