IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

Showing 171

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...

Modernise the built-in (object) Richtext Editor by moving away from the Windows OS component RichEdit Control

The RichEdit control shipped with Windows is increasingly falling out of date and style, and already differs significantly from the one used/shipped with Microsoft Office (WMF vs EMF data format). Lack of updates and patching on the OS end especia...

Update the DOORS DXL editor with an IDE and a debugger

Currently the DXL Editor consists of two plain text elements: an input box and an output box. They are poorly suited for either task: entering DXL and displaying DXL output. An editor resembling a basic IDE and a form of debugger to step through s...

Ship unencrypted DXL with DOORS client, so that users can maintain and expand customisations as standard features and their DXL change between versions / fixpacks

Customisations are a major unique feature of DOORS 9 compared to all other tools in the engineering space. They frequently integrate with standard / shipped features / UI elements, and in recent years these standard elements are being encrypted by...

Expand DOORS database server (doorsd) design to support multithreading

In light of enterprise software deployments moving away from real hardware to virtual machines and cloud environments, it is no longer ideal for DOORS 9 database server to function as a single-threaded process. To benefit from shared resources (st...

Similar to "Disable Logins" database login property, provide a "Disable Editing" to override all ordinary access controls when activated, until deactivated, when previous ordinary access controls are taking effect again.

Various tasks in the domain of administering a DOORS 9 database (server) may require to switch a database to read-only outside the ordinary access control management workflow. Be it to freeze a specific state of the database / projects / modules o...

In ReqIF-Import more information about options for imported ReqIF-FIle

Behaviour of DOORS ReqIF-Import is not user-friendly. It leads the user to wrong assumptions. Two things: Supplier is not getting a report telling that this newly imported e.g. data could not be merged in mode 'Lock data'. You can even use even th...

Import PDFs to DOORS

The customer would like a feature to import a set of requirements in a PDF to a (new) DOORS Module in the same way as is currently possible from a Word document or a csv file.

Disable baselines from appearing on right side explorer in DOORS 9.7.2.7

Currently when we click on a module on Left side explorer, all baselines appear on Right Side explorer. A layman user of DOORS doesnt need to see this list of Baselines because he will be working only on Current baseline. The earlier approach shou...
