Starting DOORS from the command line

If you start IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS) from the command line, you can use switches to override the registry settings.

Procedure

  1. Open a command prompt and go to the bin directory of your DOORS installation.
  2. To run DOORS, type doors, followed by the switches that you want to use. See the related concepts links for more information about available startup switches.
    For example, the following command starts DOORS and opens the Car project in the database explorer:
    C:\> cd "<DOORS_install_dir>\9.version\bin"
    C:\> doors -project Car 
    Note: Replace 9.version with your installed version of DOORS. There is a space between the switch (-project) and the parameter (Car).
    If the parameter contains a space, enclose it in quotation marks.
    C:\> cd "<DOORS_install_dir>\9.version\bin"
    C:\> doors -project "My project" 
    If the parameter is a path that contains any spaces, enclose the full path in quotation marks:
    C:\> cd "<DOORS_install_dir>\9.version\bin"
