Starting DOORS from a shortcut

On Microsoft Windows computers, you can use a shortcut to run IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS). For information about creating shortcuts, see your Windows online help. You can add command-line switches to the shortcut to override the default settings that are stored in the registry.

About this task

If you use command-line switches to log in to DOORS, the Message of the Day is not displayed.

Procedure

  1. Right-click the DOORS shortcut on your desktop, and select Properties.
  2. Click the Shortcut tab. The Target field contains the command that is used to start DOORS when you double-click the shortcut icon.
  3. Edit the command to add whatever switches you want to use.
    Important: Do not use the -password switch. It makes your password visible to other users, which could compromise security.
  4. Click OK.
