Starting Rational DOORS Web Access InterOp, displays normal DOORS client login window

Troubleshooting


Problem

The normal DOORS login window comes up when starting the DOORS client using the command line switch "–interop –data 36677@localhost –brokerHost localhost –brokerPort 61616" for starting Rational DOORS Web Access InterOp

Symptom

When starting Rational DOORS Web Access InterOp, getting the DOORS login window instead of the following screen:

Cause

If the switch is copy/pasted from the manual, the hyphen in -interop does not paste as a hyphen (dash) symbol. It pastes as something else (possibly an em- or en-dash)

Resolving The Problem

To resolve this, type the -interop part manually in the Target field as described in the following steps:

  1. Copy/Paste the DOORS client shortcut icon on the desktop and rename the icon to 'InterOp'
  2. Right-click on it and go to Properties-> Shortcut tab
  3. In the ‘Target’ field, leave a space after "C:\Program Files\Telelogic\DOORS 9.x\bin\doors.exe" and type –interop manually along with the rest of the command
  4. Launching this icon would now start the Rational DOORS Web Access InterOp instead of normal DOORS client
