IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

Showing 171

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...

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 ...

Introduce a 'project manager' role that can take over admin tasks from DB managers, but limited to a project's scope.

In a typical large scale DOORS DB, thousands of users, hundreds of concurrent users, work on dozens or hundreds of projects, while the entire database often has less than a handful of 'database managers'. There is currently no management layer bet...

Allow removal of locks for specific users in the DOORS Databaseserver Administration Tool (DBSAT)

The current lock management feature is rudimentary: one list of all locks, a remove lock button to acts on one line/item at a time. Managing dozens or hundreds of concurrent users, it is important to be able to remove all locks for a specific user...

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...

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...

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...

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...
