DOORS Server badly needs a rollback / undo feature for failed transactions beyond the backup/current/new data file concept currently in use

The connection between DOORS Client and DOORS Server is prone to outages by the nature of its design. DOORS Clients contain most of the application logic, DOORS server has the storage abilities. The transfer of new / edited / processed data betwee...

over 3 years ago in IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS Next / Administration 1 Not under consideration

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

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...
