IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

Showing 194

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...

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 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...

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...

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,...

Request for SAML authentication in DOORS

SAML is not supported with DOORS. This is an important security consideration. Can SAML support please be added for DOORS ?

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...

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

The current logic for DOORS client silent installation installer routines relies on being run in a proper user context (for example 'Administrator' or a local administrator user) to have appropriate write access to unpacking files paths on the fil...

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...
