Multi-Window-Option

DOORS Classic Client can only open one window at a time. As users often need to compare values and data between different sections of a Module or Object-Properties, the DOORS Client shall be able to open additional windows of the same view/Module/...

Add 'struct' directives/statement to the DXL interpreter to useful structuring the data/source code

The struct-directive is useful to easily struct and use data in the DXL code for complex scripts Example as in 'C': struct my_struct { int i, string s}; struct my_struct my;my.i = 42;my.s = "Dirk"; print "my.i=" my.i ", my.s=" my.s "\n"; And to be...

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...

DOORS DXL: Document eval_() as part of the DXL manual and describe it in detail

Currently eval_() has last been documented in a 9.early version (most current) of the API manual for DOORS 9. It is a widely used mechanism for launching DXL inside DXL while using DXL to potentially manipulate the DXL code passed to eval_ based o...

DOORS DXL: Add support for single line comments ("// some comment <EOL>") in DXL string to eval_(), similar to how checkDXL() behaves

Currently eval_() cannot handle single line comments ("// some comment <EOL>") in its input string parameter, as it prematurely escapes string. This limitation is not documented, and therefore not clear to users. This limitation contradicts ...

Function to provide OLEType and OLECount

Most of the Doors Modules contains an OLE in the object text, fortunately we can only check whether object contains OLE or not but no option to findout the type of th OLE for ex: word, excel, pdf, paint, jpeg, png etc If you could introduce a func...

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...
