You can extract data from Rational® DOORS® running
in secure mode. When running in secure mode, Rational DOORS limits
DXL access. If the trusted DXL is not defined in Rational DOORS,
no additional tasks need to be performed in Rational Publishing Engine.
If the trusted DXL setting is defined, you must configure Rational Publishing Engine to
work with Rational DOORS.
About this task
About the trusted DXL location:
- Defined through the RPE_DXLLOCATION system variable
- Example: \\Arakis\DOORS\trusted_dxl
- Must be the same path as the one in the Rational DOORS database
properties
- Must be an absolute path and cannot contain system variables.
Example of bad value: %DOORS_SERVER%\DOORS\trusted_dxl where DOORS_SERVER is \\Arakis
- Must be an UNC path. The path cannot be a mapped drive letter
as drive mappings are user-specific drives and might not be accessible
from all user accounts, including the Local System account used by
NT Services, such as the Tomcat service. Example of bad value: Z:\trusted_dxl where Z: = \\Arakis\DOORS
- The path must not end with a backslash (\)
Procedure
- In your Rational DOORS installation,
locate the paths to the Add-ins and Batch
files directories:
- Open Rational DOORS.
- Right-click DOORS Database and
click Properties.
- In the Properties window, select DXL
Securities.
- Note the path values for the Add-ins path and Batch
files path fields.
- Copy the %RPE_HOME%\source directory.
- Paste the source directory into the Rational DOORS add-ins
directory. Because Rational Publishing Engine references
the included files using relative paths, the Rational DOORS DXL
runtime can retrieve them. The folder structure must be preserved.
The source directory cannot be renamed.
- Paste the source directory into the Rational DOORS batch
files directory. The folder structure must be preserved.
The source folder cannot be renamed.
- Define the RPE_DXLLOCATION variable to
point to the Batch files path. Rational Publishing Engine uses
this location as the startup location for the DXLs instead of the
default RPE_HOME.
Note: Specify a
full UNC path for the trusted DXL location. Paths using mapped drive
names cannot be used as they are user-specific drives and might not
be available to all users.
