About Addins and ProjectAddins settings when upgrading or repairing IBM DOORS

Question & Answer


Question

Is it possible to keep the existing Addins and ProjectAddins settings in IBM ERM DOORS when you repair or upgrade?

Cause

When DOORS Addins and ProjectAddins locations are set either by shortcut or by registry keys; by upgrading or repairing DOORS installation removes these settings.

Answer

No. When you upgrade or repair your existing DOORS installation these settings are overwritten by the installer.

WORKAROUND:

Keep the existing settings by copying the default DOORS desktop shortcut, and editing the copy with the new addins details.
