IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

Showing 177

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The RichEdit control shipped with Windows is increasingly falling out of date and style, and already differs significantly from the one used/shipped with Microsoft Office (WMF vs EMF data format).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

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...

Able to add link set pairing to the imported module via reqif from Doors Next with restricted attributes in DOORS Classic

We need to update a Module from DNG to Doors classic and data is not modified in Doors classic and update happens multiple times only in DNG. Users who are working in Classic and want to import multiple updates from DnG will benefit from this idea...

Make DOORS 9 ReqIF Import tolerate (extra) spaces between HTML tags for tables, lists and other structures

Different tools format data in different ways. Extra spaces may be used by some tools, and not by others. Currently DOORS 9 cannot tolerate extra spaces in some HTML tags, for example <td></td> works, but <td> </td> does not.

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...

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...
