Document hardware performance benchmarks for DOORS 9 components, similar to what is available for DOORS Next

At the time of writing, DOORS minimum hardware requirements date back some (many) years and are not at all exhaustive as to what performance is recommended for production workloads. Other products in the same group of tools document their performa...

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The RichEdit control shipped with Windows is increasingly falling out of date and style, and already differs significantly from the one used/shipped with Microsoft Office (WMF vs EMF data format).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

Customize the separator character when importing CSV files in DOORS 9.7

It would be beneficial because it would not be necessary to change Windows Settings or do any preprocessing to make a correct import

Add ifdef and ifndef directives to the DXL interpreter to test for active includes and avoid repeated includes of the same files

the include directive is useful for structuring code and expanding scripts during runtime the absence of ifdef / ifndef makes it impossible to test for and avoid repeated includes of the same code (.inc files) this can create unnecessary and consi...

Add try/catch perms to DXL to aid in testing for and catching disruptive layout DXL error messages

In some places, DXL can run and throw errors that disrupt a workflow, block the UI or worse. A try/catch mechanism in DXL could allow DXL authors to test for and catch such situations better.

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...

Support OAuth 2 for OSLC integrations

OAuth 1.0a as supported currently in DOORS 9 is deprecated according to https://oauth.net/core/1.0a/ and has been replaced by RFC 6749 (OAuth 2.0). In order to integrate between DOORS 9 and other modern OSLC applications, DOORS 9 shall support the...

DOORS QCI shall support ALM 16

ALM 16 is the current iteration of ALM, and not yet supported by DOORS Quality Center Integration. Such support is hereby requested.

Enhance all error message boxes that relate to specific data entities, with scope / environment details, to easier identify where an error occurred.

Some error messages output failure information about for example, specific object IDs, but not what module / project / path they occurred in. In scenarios where multiple modules / projects / folders are processed, and such errors are output in sho...

Expand the error message 'loading object <object ID>, previous object <object ID2> not descended from sibling <object ID3>.' with 'environment / context/scope' information, so that users / admins can easier determine where the issue has occurred.

Users operate in several modules operations / DXL concurrently, which may throw 'loading object / previous object not descended from sibling' errors. The errors are displayed in a messagebox with no further reference to the underlying module. This...
