RELATED IDEAS

Package up DOORS 9 components for their respective Linux distributions (rpm for RHEL and SLES) or in other suitable formats, and give them persistent dependencies on required third party and OS libraries

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Currently the DOORS 9 server installer (and other components too) are self-contained ELF binaries, agnostic of their own dependencies during installation.

During runtime, these missing libraries will cause DOORS to throw errors on the console.

Were IBM to package up the application components in RPMs, persistent dependencies could be defined and their satisfaction triggered during (package) installation. This would also remove the need to manually find and install suitable libraries / packages. There are other options such as flatpaks or snaps, that allow the deployment of self-contained applications.
