Answer

Procedure:

Please find the equivalent steps to configure external links for DOORS when using Citrix Receiver Enterprise:

1. Download Citrix Receiver Enterprise
   

• From the first drop-down list Select "Citrix Receiver"
  
  
• From the second drop-down list select "Legacy Client Software"
  
  
• Select Receiver for Windows 3.4 (Legacy PNA)

CitrixReceiverEnterprise.exe /silent /includeSSON ADDLOCAL="ReceiverInside,ICA_Client,PN_Agent,SSON,DesktopViewer,Flash,Vd3d" SERVER_LOCATION="http://<server>/Citrix/PNagent/config.xml" ENABLE_SSON="Yes"

Under SERVER_LOCATION replace <server> with the Citrix server IP address

Example: http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Citrix/PNAgent/config.xml

3. Publish DOORS Protocolhandler (<DOORS Home>\bin\protocolhandler.exe) on the Citrix Server in the Citrix Delivery Services Console

Command line:-

"C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.5\bin\protocolhandler.exe" %**

Note: At the end of the command line there should be %** (without quotation marks)

4. Update the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\shell\open\command registry on the client machine with the below string.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Citrix\ICA Client\pnagent.exe" /QLaunch "FARMNAME:PUBLISHEDAPP" /param:"-r 240 -s 60 -url %1"
