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.

Add a facility to the Database Server Admin Tool (DBSadmin.exe) that allows to filter with regular expressions on active locks displayed.

Oftentimes admins have to manage hundreds of concurrent users, and their stale locks. Working with a list of dozens and hundreds of rows in the DBSAT is unnecessarily tedious. The simple addition of a filter feature, ideally with regular expressio...

Allow DOORS 9.7.2.x and beyond to recognize, import, and handle SVG format files

Our modeling team is using Cameo for developing models. While they can export views from the model in traditional various picture format (.jpg, .png, etc.) these do not scale clearly in DOORS, which is our tool of record for requirements. Scalable...

Add a means of saving and loading filters (to/from internal repositories and/or file system) to allow for example baselines to use filters that cater for their structure & data (vs current data)

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 the creation of project or module archives while users are working on the data (remove the necessity for exclusive access during the archiving task)

Creating module and project archives must be possible in the background and in parallel, even while modules are in use. Backups of specific projects or modules can only be made during off-peak, users may work late or on weekends, and are thus bloc...

User-specific Properties editor for Project/Folder properties-dialog.

Following ENGRMD-I-198, an editor for the user-specific Project/Folder Properties shall be very helpful.The (GUI) editor shall be an addition to the already existing Project/Folder Properties dialog-box and shall show a table-list of user-defined ...

2. Provide user-specific Properties for Projects and Folders like for users.

Similar as ‘set( User Property)’ on Page 246 of the DXL Reference Manual, the functionality shall exist for DOORS Projects and Folders (and (Link-)Modules as-well) to be able to tag this kind of data in DOORS as-well and optimize the handling, man...
