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...

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

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OAuth 1.0a as supported currently in DOORS 9 is deprecated according to https://oauth.net/core/1.0a/ and has been replaced by RFC 6749 (OAuth 2.0).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...

The DWA TRS feed should expose baseline data that is linked to a global configuration

If DWA TRS feed exposes baseline data that is linked to a global configuration, then it will be possible to get full traceability with ELM applications and DOORS 9 through LQE and JRS. At the moment, Traceability can not be done, for example, betw...

support following external links to databases in Chromium browsers (Chrome / Edge)

When following an external link to another database using special protocols (e. g.: cdb:// ), the browser should handle the protocol and open the respective tool. This feature works in Internet Explorer and Firefox. Using Chrome or Edge, an empty ...

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...

Provide logging that captures Access Rights changes

This is a regular request from customers. This customer is particularly interested in access rights changes made to Groups. There is no way to track who has made changes at the moment.

In the AddAccess dialogue, do not display user names together with group names by default.

Large organisations with hundreds or thousands of users and groups often manage access controls through groups. Displaying all the users together with all the groups in the 'Add Access' dialogue by default, is often not necessary and creates consi...
