PM16375: addins locations are not getting detected by DOORS in batch mode

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Problem
  Addins locations don't get picked up by DOORS when running in ba
  tch mode. Using exactly the same settings in non-batch mode is s
  uccessful.
  
  This applies to addins specified in either the registry, or comm
  and line.
  
  This results in errors such as 'No such file or directory' when
  running in batch mode with batch startup files #including files
  in the addins location
  
  To Reproduce
   - create a network share \\host\share and add this as an addins
   entry in the registry
   - create a folder 'config' in the share, and a file inside call
  ed batchInclude.dxl
   - inside batchInclude.dxl define 'string ss = 'ABE' '
   - create a file inside your batch startup files called batchSta
  rt.inc
   - inside batchStart.inc enter '#include ?config\batchInclude.in
  c?'
   - run DOORS in batch mode
  
  An error appears stating that the file batchInclude.inc couldn't
   be found.
  
  This works when running in non-batch mode, and using the standar
  d startup files location.
  
  Possible Workarounds
  Use full, static paths for include files?
  
  Additional Notes
  Introduced at some point since v8.3.

  Addins locations don't get picked up by DOORS when running
  in batch mode. Using exactly the same settings in non-batch
  mode is successful.
  
  This applies to addins specified in either the registry, or
  command line.
  
  This results in errors such as "No such file or directory"
  when running in batch mode with batch startup files
  #including files in the addins location
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been changed so that addins locations are now
  used when running DOORS in batch mode
