Inform users of locked artifacts in wizard prior to ReqIF import as this causes errors

It makes a lot more sense to prevent the ReqIF import, than allowing it to occur and forcing the customer to redo the import. The wizard should show all the locks that will affect the import and then stop the import. Otherwise customers need to do...

Allow to generate only specific topics in the compare configuration report

The compare configuration report quickly becomes a very large report which can easily crash the DOORS Next server if sufficient heap is not allocated. But even if enough heap is allocated, the EDG component only has 8GB fixed heap and many reports...

Provide option to split configuration comparison report output into multiple files with different section headings

This would be useful because the output of the report can be very large. For us, even a small report is unwieldy at more than 500MB. Having multiple files means that the report is much easier to open and share, rather than being one monolithic fil...
