Integration for IBM Rational DOORS integrates the local and client applications of Modeler and DOORS, that is:
• Standalone and Client Only installations of Modeler.
• Complete Server, Standard Client and Workstation Client installations of DOORS.
If you are installing Integration for IBM Rational DOORS on to a DOORS Workstation Client computer, you may require read/write access to the DOORS Server computer, on which the program files reside.
In DOORS, a Workstation Client installation does not install the program files on the computer.
For information about working with Integration for IBM Rational DOORS, open the Modeler Help, expand the Product Integrations book, and then see the topics in the Integration for IBM Rational DOORS book. Note that the Integration for IBM Rational DOORS help topics are installed only when the Integration for IBM Rational DOORS is installed.
Installation Scenarios
If you install or upgrade DOORS after installing Modeler, Integration for IBM Rational DOORS will not work:
• If DOORS is installed and has been run and you are installing or upgrading Modeler, install Modeler and Integration for IBM Rational DOORS.
• If you install DOORS after installing Modeler, you must reinstall Integration for IBM Rational DOORS through the Modeler installation program.
• If you upgrade DOORS, you must reinstall Integration for IBM Rational DOORS through the Modeler installation program.
Installing on DOORS Client Workstation Computers
A DOORS Workstation Client uses program files that reside on a remote DOORS Server computer. In this environment, the Integration for IBM Rational DOORS program files need to be set up only on the DOORS Server. When you install Integration for IBM Rational DOORS on to a DOORS Workstation Client, the installation program may need to set up the program files on the DOORS Server:
• If Integration for IBM Rational DOORS program files have been previously set up on the DOORS Server, the installation program makes no changes to the DOORS Server.
• If Integration for IBM Rational DOORS program files have not been previously set up on the DOORS Server, the installation program sets up the program files on the DOORS Server. To achieve this, the installation program requires write access to the DOORS Server.
If you upgrade DOORS, you must reinstall Integration for IBM Rational DOORS.
