Manually updating the DOORS registries

IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing edits the system registries for using an IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS , add-in during installation. In some circumstances when the Engineering Publishing installer does not run on a computer, such as when an application is built on the PUB Java™ API, you must update these registries manually.

About this task

If you installed the client applications and the Engineering Requirements Management DOORS add-in with the PUB installer, you don't need to complete this task.

Procedure

  1. Open the system registry for your computer.
    For more information, see the documentation for your operating system.
  2. Locate the DOORS registry.
    Examples:
    • DOORS 9.4 on a 64-bit Windows registry entry example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Telelogic\DOORS\9.4\Config
    • DOORS 9.3 on a 32-bit Windows registry entry example: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS\9.3\Config
  3. Open the addins value.
    If you do not have an addins value, create one with the name addins and with the type String.
  4. Add the path that is also used for the RPE_HOME variable as the data.
    Separate multiple paths with a semicolon (;).
    Example: C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\PUB;C:\Program Files(x86)\IBM\PUB_1
    Important: If the addins value already existed and you did not create it, ensure that you do not overwrite values that are already entered. Append the path to the PUB product to the end of the data list.
  5. Click OK to save the changes.
