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...

DOORS direct connection to company LDAP

DOORS is not able to connect directly to a company LDAP, like DOORS Next. DOORS is able to do it via RDS, that is more or less a simpler LDAP. So the ideas is to make DOORS available to connect to company LDAP. RDS brings a lot of software to be i...

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

Introduce support for silent installation of DOORS client in system account context commonly used in systems management tools
