IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

Showing 198

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...

Allow the controlled modification of attribute definitions while some module data is locked for shared edit.

In a high availability around-the-clock scenario, it is not feasible to stop shared editing in order to modify attribute definitions and purge objects. Both types of tasks need to take place within the same time frame. Perhaps the concept of setti...

Allow to copy projects, folders and modules while data is locked for editing therein

In a busy database accessed by users across multiple time zones, the limitation of exclusivity between copying projects, folders and modules, and locking data in modules for editing is a serious constraint. Breaking up this exclusivity will greatl...

Allow archiving of projects and modules while users have edit locks on data

Currently both tasks - archiving and editing, require exclusive access to all modules in a project (project archives), all data in a module (module archiving) (exclusive edit) or some data in a module (shared edit). This excludes the ability to cr...

In DWA GUI add a notification mechanism (similar to ELM) when content displayed has changed in the background and offer to refresh.

DOORS Web Access lacks the triggered viewport refresh of the DOORS 9 Windows client. It has however all the necessary hooks available to it to display a "data has changed in the background" notification, and to provide the user with a choice to re...

DOORS DB Admin tool shall list DOORS username for connected user

The DOORS DB Admin tool and command line option shall include the DOORS username when showing connected users. The current tool only displays the system username.

Add an audit trail / history for user and group management operations

Audits frequently review what admin added/modified/deleted which user/group when and why. This is currently not recorded in an integrated audit or history feature. It is obvious why this would be useful. Tracking these operations in the logs fails...

Give migration package powers to a new management level role on project level (project manager)

Currently only DB Managers / admins can manage migration packages (for DNG). In large scale deployments, a hand ful of admins is typically faced with dozens if not hundreds of projects and their management tasks, particularly the migration to DNG ...
