Question & Answer


Question

How to shut down the IBM ERM DOORS database Server from the command line?

Cause

You use scripts with command-line instructions to shut down IBM DOORS database for database backup.

Answer

For Microsoft Windows there are two methods you can use:
  • Run the Net Stop command to stop the DOORS database service "DOORS DB Server 9.7"
    Example:
    C:\>NET STOP "DOORS DB Server 9.7"
    The DOORS DB Server 9.7 service is stopping..
    The DOORS DB Server 9.7 service was stopped successfully
     
  • Shut down the server with the dbadmin function -killserver option
    Example:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.7\bin>dbadmin -data 36677@host -killserver



For Linux:

  1. Navigate to $DOORSHOME/bin
     
  2. Run the following dbadmin command:

    ./dbadmin -data PORT@HOST -killserver -password PASSWORD
PORT = DOORS database server port number
HOST = DOORS Server Hostname
PASSWORD = the database password
(This option is only required if you have a database password set)
