	DOORS Adapter Compatibility with IBM Rational SoDA

Solution Defect HOY-668766 (Test inputs are not loaded properly within SoDA report) explanation and resolution

Background:
DOORS Adapter (version 2.2 and later) is dependent on Microsoft.NET Framework v2.0

IBM Rational SoDA reports run within the context of Microsoft Word.

Some versions of Word (tested 2000, 2003) load Microsoft.NET Framework v1.1 (which is incompatible with DOORS Adapter 2.2 and later) before the SoDA framework communicates with Test Manager, which in turn attempts (and subsequently fails) to load requirements via DOORS Adapter test inputs.

Resolution:
This defect is resolved in DOORS Adapter v2.3 SR1. Resolution of this defect involves copying the DoorsAdapter2.dll.config file found in the "soda-fix" subdirectory to its parent directory, so that it resides in the same directory as DoorsAdapter2.dll. The presence and content of this .config file directs the DOORS Adapter software to force loading of a compatible version of the .NET Framework.

The .config file contains, by default:

<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
</startup>
</configuration>

Customers may need to add to this file to support subsequent versions of the Microsoft.NET framework in the absence of the v2.0 framework.

<configuration>
<startup>
<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>
<supportedRuntime version="v3.x.xxxxx"/>
</startup>
</configuration>
