IBM Engineering - Requirements Management DOORS/DOORS Web Access

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/...

In Word to DOORS export, add document structure management similar to RTF import in DOORS.

The current Word VBA to DOORS import addon is lacking behind the feature scope of the RTF importer in DOORS client. See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/doors/9.7.2?topic=modules-importing-rich-text-format-files ....

For Word to DOORS export, remove the dependency on OLE host applications during export.

Currently OLEs inside Word documents that are to be exported to DOORS 9, are being activated as their content is carried over to DOORS 9, where they are inserted as OLEs again. This makes it necessary for the relevant host application to be instal...

Implement the Word to DOORS export in a modern OOXML format (dotm) and retire the doors.dot format

The 'classic' Microsoft Office Word template files in the *.dot format are increasingly being blocked in organisations for security reasons. An implementation of the Word to DOORS export in the modern OOXML template with macros file format (dotm) ...

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...

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 ...

Request to be able to delete baseline references when baselines have been deleted

We have modules with more than 700 baselines, but a lot have been deleted. When we view the list of baselines in "Manage Baselines" it is slow to scroll through as all the baseline references remain, even though some have been deleted. We request ...

Request to introduce a hierarchy structure to the DOORS views list. Long lists of many views become easily unmanageable in the current UI. Introducing categories under which view names can be grouped will greatly enhance the user experience with long view lists.

Some shared modules can have a huge number of views. Naming of views is often not conducive to usability - ie. showing frequently use views on top of the list to avoid (long) scrolling) when selecting a view. Naming views to achieve this (for exam...

DOORS direct connection to company LDAP

DOORS is not able to connect directly to a company LDAP, like DOORS Next. DOORS is able to do it via RDS, that is more or less a simpler LDAP. So the ideas is to make DOORS available to connect to company LDAP. RDS brings a lot of software to be i...
