DOORS Folders

Hi,
I was wondering if there is any path to the "Home" DOORS folder (like, is there any way to bypass the "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Rational\\DOORS\\9.4\\" so that you don't need to change the program for each version of DOORS?
Thanks!

Hi josiah820,

This thread might help you.

You can also use the "-addins" command line switch to specify the include file search path. Take a look at:

PS. I'm guessing you are asking about include file paths in DXL. Sorry if I missed the boat entirely.

// Environment variable
const string RPE_HOME = getenv("RPE_HOME") // RPE variable
const string DOORSHOME = getenv("DOORSHOME") // DOORS variable
const string USER_PROFILE = getenv("USERPROFILE") // Desktop variable
 
// RPE fullpath
const string RPE_LAUNCH = RPE_HOME "\\launcher\\rpe-launcher.exe"
// DOORS fullpath
const string DOORS_LAUNCH = DOORSHOME "bin\\doors.exe"
