Starting Doors and getting error

When I try to launch Doors I am getting an error "Directory 'DATA' has not been specified." then Doors exits. How do I fix that issue?

Looks like you've not provided database connection details during installation of DOORS Client.
You can specify that in registry, in the following location:
If 9.6 and above - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Telelogic\DOORS\9.6\Config
If 9.5 and older - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Telelogic\DOORS\9.5\Config

You'll find a string by name "Data" here (if not present, create one with that name). The value for this string should be the connection parameter for your DOORS Database server. For example, 36677@doorsServer - where 36677 is the port number on which DOORS Database server is running, and doorsServer is the name of the system where DOORS Database Server is running.

Hope that helps.

Thanks very much, that was the problem, the application is now running correctly.
