DOORS : Win32Shell failed: OLE problem: The system cannot find the file specified


Win32Shell failed: OLE problem: The system cannot find the file specified

   Recently I had a tough time with an error while exporting a DOORS module with the "Documentation Export" feature is IBM DOORS.
The problem was when I selected  File -> Export -> Document Generation -> Export, I get the DXL error as below.


 I tried with all the option of checking the registry. But i found the solution accidentally.


Possible Solution : 
Since the DOORS installation was a 64 bit version, I had to install a 64 bit Java and update the path to the System Variable "JAVA_HOME".
I hope this helps you.

Update 05.12.2016:
Also check if there are multiple JAVA Runtime installations. There could both x86 and 64-bit JAVA installations which could conflict and still create this issue.
One solution for this is to install 32-bit DOORS version and an appropriate JAVA Runtime.


P.S: All 64bit installations are in the folder "c:\program files" for 64 bit OS


 
DOORS version : 9.6.1.6  (64 bit version)
OS : Windows 7

Samsung S5 Slow after update

Samsung S5 slow after SW upgrade


Android SW updates are always making the phones slower. I have noticed this with S3, S4 and S5.

But here is how i improved the performance
1. Clear the Cache partition. You can find many webpages explaining how to do it.
     But even after deleting the cache, the phone gets sluggish after few days.

2. If you have whats app, delete all the Images and  Videos. This really did magic to my phone

3. Activate the Optimizing the apps 
   - To do this got to Battery -> "App Optimisation"  and turn it ON. 

4. Make the unused apps or data dependent Apps to restricted mode.
    Restriced mode allows the apps to use internet only when WiFi is connected.
    - To do this goto Settings -> Data usage -> Select the app  and turn ON the " Restrict Background data"
  


Also check if any of the app is consuming more battery power and change the settings to reduce it activeness.  


I hope this will save some money for you.
