Registry settings
When you start IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS)
on a Windows computer, it uses the default configuration
information in the registry. You can use command-line switches to override the registry
settings.
CAUTION:
Be careful if you edit the registry directly as you might corrupt your DOORS
installation. See your system administrator or your DOORS
administrator before you edit the registry.
The registry has a directory containing the DOORS client configuration details, and a directory for the DOORS Server configuration, if the server is installed.
The default path to the DOORS
registry entry is one of these locations:
- 64-bit OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Telelogic\DOORS_Server\9.6
- 32-bit OS: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS_Server\9.version
The keywords are the same as the command-line switches. You do not need to use quotation marks when the parameter includes spaces.
You cannot point your ServerData registry key to a mapped network drive.
The EXPORTDIRECTORY keyword and environment variable specify the default path used by the DOORS exporters, and have no command-line equivalent. When you use an exporter, the value of the EXPORTDIRECTORY keyword and environment variable are updated to match the path that you exported the data to.
By default, DOORS uses the JAVA_HOME system environment variable to locate the Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE). To use an alternate JRE installation rather than the version specified by the system environment variable, create a JAVA_HOME string value in the ..\Teleologic\DOORS\9.6\Config registry
key and set the data for the string value to the path of the JRE installation. For example, the new
string value is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS\9.6\Config\JAVA_HOME
An example of
the data setting for that value is: C:\MY_JRE\Java70\jre
