Prerequisites include:
- The DOORS 9.7.2.8 server requires 32-bit Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 redistributable and the client requires 64-bit Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 redistributable. The redistributable is included in the installation package and no separate installation is required.
- The DOORS 9.7.2.8 client application requires the Microsoft® WebView2 Runtime to use the EdgeView related controls and DXL perms. The Microsoft® WebView2 Runtime is already a part of the Windows 11 operating system and the Windows 10 operating system with the latest service pack. If required, you can download the Microsoft® WebView2 Runtime from the Microsoft website (The Evergreen Standalone Installer x64 download package is recommended).
- Upgrading to 9.7.2.8, you must upgrade the IBM Common Licensing to version 9.
- Review the Version compatibility for IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® - Web Access, interoperation server, IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® database server and client document prior to installation to ensure the client and server compatibility requirements are met in your environment.

What's new
|
This release includes the following enhancements:
- Ability to configure timeout period for automatic link discovery
- IBM has announced end of life for Rational Change effective September 2024. See 921-121. DOORS integration with Rational Change is now deprecated. When a feature is deprecated, IBM continues to sport the feature but no longer plans to enhance it and might remove the capability in a subsequent release of the product. An alternative to Rational Change is to use IBM Engineering Workflow Management (EWM) integrated with DOORS. See Integrating DOORS and EWM.

Helpful Hints For Obtaining Technical Assistance:

To save time, know the answers to these questions:
- What software versions were you running when the problem occurred?
- Do you have logs, traces, or messages that are related to the problem?
- Can you reproduce the problem? If so, what steps do you take to reproduce it?
- Is there a workaround for the problem? If so, be prepared to describe the workaround.
