The DSX Files

The DSX Files works with DOORS Next to help Rational Engineering Insights – Publishing (aka Rational Publishing Engine) template authors develop templates to be used in the DOORS Next User Interface.

This application has the following features:

  • List DOORS Next generated DSX files located in the temporary directory
  • Download any DSX file located in the temporary directory
  • Quickly display and copy the temporary URI that includes the viewcacheID for a given DSX file in the temporary directory

The application has been developed and tested against WebSphere Liberty running on Linux. It should also work with full-fledged WebSphere Application Server as well as on Windows, but no testing of these configurations has been performed.
