    Ability to Notify Users having Locks on Items through Manage Locks Dialog Box

    In the regular workflow of an Administrator the Manage Locks dialog box is often used. If a user has a lock on an Item the admin likes to unlock (i.e. because another user asks for this), it is good practice to ask the locking user before forced u...

    Please free up license when user is kicked out via the DOORS database admin tool

    When the DOORS Database Server Administration Tool is used to disconnect a user, the license is not freed up until the user clicks okay on the dialog box that tells them DOORS will exit. Most of the time, admins want to kick out users that have le...

    Force user to set a new password, triggered by customization

    Because of company mailing policy, the [Reset Password] button does not work, and we solve password reset with customization tools. However the newly set password - with addUser (szDoorsName, szPassword, ""); OR u.password = szPassword; on the fir...

    To address multi site user bases working on DOORS data, add a feature that allows for multisite database provision, data replication and caching.

    Multi Site user bases can sometimes be brought closer to their DOORS server by using Terminal Server or Citrix. In some cases connections may be even unsuitable for those approaches (latency, HOPS). Since it is increasingly not the case, that peop...

    Add a facility to restart the DOORS database server Windows service from within the admin tools (dbadmin / dbsadmin).

    Currently only a 'killserver' command is available. Restarting the windows service for doorsd.exe / the DOORS DB server still requires (manual) access to Windows Server admin tools. Such access is increasingly blocked / restricted and typically no...

    Retire Rational Directory Server and move to a liberty auth server or other current authentication methods

    Tivolli RDS is extermely old, difficulit to setup and has poor support available from IBM (it has taken over 6 months to work out how to get it to work in our environment because of the poor deloployment architecture of Tivolli RDS). Given that it...

    Allow users to manage / unlock their previously stalled and prematurely terminated DOORS client <> server connections

    Currently, users who get disconnected by any means other than the proper DOORS Client "File" "Exit" termination, may find their DOORS session still being active albeit stale, or locks still in place from a previous session. Currently administrator...

    Introduce a 'project manager' role that can take over admin tasks from DB managers, but limited to a project's scope.

    In a typical large scale DOORS DB, thousands of users, hundreds of concurrent users, work on dozens or hundreds of projects, while the entire database often has less than a handful of 'database managers'. There is currently no management layer bet...

    Allow removal of locks for specific users in the DOORS Databaseserver Administration Tool (DBSAT)

    The current lock management feature is rudimentary: one list of all locks, a remove lock button to acts on one line/item at a time. Managing dozens or hundreds of concurrent users, it is important to be able to remove all locks for a specific user...

    Allow resizing of the DOORS Database Server Administration Tool (DBSAT) window and columns.

    The user experience is limited with the current implementation of the fixed size window and columns, particularly on very high resolution screens and when working with huge numbers of users / many lines of data.
