Using DOORS v9.2.0.1 and Office-2007, I am unable to do the following: Select a DOORS folder, properties, and copy-URL. Open Word, Insert a Hyperlink, paste the URL. When I cntl-Click on the Hyperlink, I get errors:
Hyperlink text looks like this: doors://123.45.678.890:36677/?version=2&prodID=0&urn=urn:telelogic::1-0000000000000000-F-0001bb60 Thoughts?

Re: DOORS URL in Word A problem limited to Word 2007, perhaps? I am able to do what you describe using v9.2.0.2 with Word 2003. We use Citrix to access DOORS, but as long as I use the Word also hosted via Citrix I can follow a link whether or not a DOORS instance is running. Are your Word and DOORS applications running in the same 'environment'? |

Re: DOORS URL in Word llandale - Wed May 12 13:30:47 EDT 2010 What happens when you navigate the URL some other way (like in Windows Explorer)? |
Re: DOORS URL in Word llandale - Wed May 12 13:30:47 EDT 2010 doors://server.name:36677/?version=2&prodID=0&view=00000009&urn=urn:telelogic::1-459d379e5c8b3a49-M-0003ed02 This URL has a server name rather than an IP address, and includes a view number - we default to something other than Standard View - but otherwise looks the same. I get this in Word by selecting Insert -> Hyperlink and pasting the URL into the Address line. |
Re: DOORS URL in Word However, that came in DWA 1.3, which requires Doors 9.2.0.2 and you say you're still on 9.2.0.1 so this may not be relevant. Kieran |
Re: DOORS URL in Word
The format is the same for selected Folders and Modules. When you hyperlink to the module it opens it. During a phone meeting, when there was nothing else to do, I wrote a dxl-ette to read the selected folder/module/object and copy the URL in v8.1 format, if its in v9.1 format.
Having some trouble with the hyperlinks associated with having multiple DOORS versions intalled. Problems go away when I open a SINGLE DOORS session of the requisite version, before attempting hyperlinking to it. |
Re: DOORS URL in Word This is where you can see what version is registered: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\shell\open\command If 9.2 is registered, then the value should be: C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2\bin\protocolhandler.exe -r 120 -url %1 Hope it helps.. Cheers, Sudarshan |

Re: DOORS URL in Word SystemAdmin - Mon May 17 15:55:09 EDT 2010 I just tried it on a simple DOORS training module url, copie and pasted the url and turned it into a hyperlink in a word document works ok in DOORS v9.1.0.3 client with Word 2007.... gsdguy |
Re: DOORS URL in Word SystemAdmin - Mon May 17 15:58:44 EDT 2010 well...even if i am not logged into DOORS, it starts up DOORS and waits for me to log in as if normally starting DOORS, then it opens the module...pretty slick. Not that we export everything into Word and use the requirements that way, but nice to know it is an option. gsdguy |

i had the same issue after change from 8.2 to 9.2. I think the problem was, that we first installed 9.2 and then uninstalled 8.2. The registry item for protocolhandler was deleted. Just create a new one HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors @="URL:DOORS protocol" "URL Protocol"="" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\Default Icon @="C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\Rational\\Doors\\bin\\protocolhandler.exe" HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\shell HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\shell\open HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\doors\shell\open\command @="C:\\Program Files\\IBM\\Rational\\Doors\\bin\\protocolhandler.exe -r 120 -url %1" or install attachment, hope that helps Attachments attachment_14471222_DOORS_9_2_regkey_protocolhandler.reg |
