Error linking Simulink Test to DOORS requirements

Has anyone had success linking a Simulink Test Case to a requirement in a DOORS module? Using R2017b. With a DOORS 9.6.1.9 database I have the ability to run DXL scripts, and I have been told by the administrator the ability to run DXL on our DOORS 9.x databases isn't restricted and there is no 'Edit DXL' privilege.

I am getting error "MATLAB cannot find the DOORS automation server. You must have "Edit DXL" access privileges in your DOORS login account to use the DOORS interface..." when I click the Add button in Test Manager

Hi Andrew,

I have some clarification questions to ask.

1. Did you try running the following from command window?

>>rmi('setup')

One of the steps there is to install the required interface files into DOORS client installation directory.

2. Are you able to link from SL blocks (rather than Simulink Test Case) to DOORS objects?

3. Are you running DOORS Client as the same user as MATLAB? For example, if DOORS Client is running as Administrator, and MALTAB as a normal user, or the other way around, ActiveX communication won’t work.

Young, Thank you. I had not performed the rmi setup, and after doing this (with both DOORS and Matlab running in admin mode) I am now able to perform the linking.
