DOORS Server badly needs a rollback / undo feature for failed transactions beyond the backup/current/new data file concept currently in use

The connection between DOORS Client and DOORS Server is prone to outages by the nature of its design. DOORS Clients contain most of the application logic, DOORS server has the storage abilities. The transfer of new / edited / processed data betwee...

Add means to update / modify baseline access controls in limited scenarios.

Static / frozen Access Control Lists block baselines from being accessed on different - or same but evolved, databases, where users and groups differ / have changed. This is especially an issue when a module with baselines is restored from an arch...

Resizing of inserted artifacts in order to see better the added information

When we are working with requirements, if we insert artifact 1 within artifact 2, artifact 1 is very small and it is hard to see the details (see Inserted artifact.png). If there could be any way to resize the inserted artifact 1 (image, diagram f...

To address multi site user bases working on DOORS data, add a feature that allows for multisite database provision, data replication and caching.

Multi Site user bases can sometimes be brought closer to their DOORS server by using Terminal Server or Citrix. In some cases connections may be even unsuitable for those approaches (latency, HOPS). Since it is increasingly not the case, that peop...

Add a facility to restart the DOORS database server Windows service from within the admin tools (dbadmin / dbsadmin).

Currently only a 'killserver' command is available. Restarting the windows service for doorsd.exe / the DOORS DB server still requires (manual) access to Windows Server admin tools. Such access is increasingly blocked / restricted and typically no...

Add the ability to run multiple DXL Service scripts in parallel for functionality that mimics 'server side DXL'.

Unlike most client/server applications, DOORS 9 has most of the logic on the client side, and little to no automation / scripting / maintenance features on the server side. DOORS DXL Services use DOORS Web Access to offer an interface to DOORS via...

Support function-based indexes

It would be helpful if Maximo could support function based-indexes. Function based indexes are OOB in databases and are an easy way to pre-compute data for faster performance. https://oracle-base.com/articles/8i/function-based-indexes https://use-...

Asset Inventory Moves - Ability to perform mass move of rotating assets between bins within a storeroom or between storerooms and bins.

Why?Today the process of moving assets from bin to bin within in a storeroom or even between storerooms is a 1 by 1 asset process. This is very time consuming. Who benefits?The customers that benefit most are those that use the inventories to mana...

An API access token can be used by multiple people instead of a API access token per person so a report using an API can be refreshed by multiple people but cannot be accessed by someone who has left the organisation.

The new API access tokens have been introduced to replace the previous method of a username and password. My understanding is that: Each user should have their own API access tokens If that user leaves the organisation then by disabling that user ...
