Doors Protocol between client and Server

Hi All,
I want to know protocol(s)doors uses to communicate between the client and the server.

We are trying to do performance testing and Loadrunner is not recording any code.

Thanks

The DOORS database is a proprietary designed database - it does not have an ODBC compliant interface.

The protocol between the client and server is also proprietary and not documented.

DOORS does have an API - click here to download a copy of the "DOORS API Manual", search the web page for "API". This will allow you to run DOORS DXL scripts from an external application. DXL supports external interfacing via OLE methods so maybe you can use the DOORS API to run a DXL script that passes back data to another application via OLE - seems messy.

Have a close look at the following post which I think will give you some clues as well. click here
