IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

Showing 163

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...

Request to be able to delete baseline references when baselines have been deleted

We have modules with more than 700 baselines, but a lot have been deleted. When we view the list of baselines in "Manage Baselines" it is slow to scroll through as all the baseline references remain, even though some have been deleted. We request ...

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...

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)

Filters are saved with views, and filters can change, which may break baseline viewing / filtering, if the structure (attributes etc) changes over time. Storing specific filters and re-loading them when needed would work around this issue and enha...

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...

Add a feature that tracks (and/or controls) DXL scripts database wide during runtime and beyond.

Currently DXL scripts offer powerful customisation options, but since they're entirely run client-side, it is hard to manage them centrally and database wide, especially when they impact performance or stability, or when maintenance tasks require ...

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

Currently, users who get disconnected by any means other than the proper DOORS Client "File" "Exit" termination, may find their DOORS session still being active albeit stale, or locks still in place from a previous session. Currently administrator...

For username-type attributes, show contents as strike-through when the underlying username has since been removed from the user list.

Currently, for a username type attribute, when during data entry an existing username is picked - let's say JDoe, and the attribute is saved for this object; upon modifying this user JDoe, for example by renaming them to DoeJ, or by deleting them,...

Stop auto-scroll when two modules are viewed side-by-side

Two modules are open side by side and these modules have many links to each other. When you scroll down through one module you notice the second module also starts to scroll down, even though you have not touched it. The customer would like to sto...
