Access to XML temporary files

It would be good for debugging abilities, to give access to temporary XML files generated from data sources. Especially when using DOORS classic as a data source, there are often no other means than to see the XML file to understand what prevent a document generation.

It used to be possible in previous versions and I have no clue why this feature has been removed.

    Hello there,

    Thanks for trying to be transparent ! But to me yu did not get my point at all (it seems by the given answers at least):

    1°) the linkt you provided does not apply for DOORS classic as a datasource (it is not a URL but a DXL script that collects source data.

    2°) preview is NOT AT ALL related to my requested!!! My need is to find the one record (amongst thousands of records) that causes a problem.

    Bue fine by me if you don't want to "just" put back what was usefull in the pas.

    No offense, but I reckon I won't connect to this idea any longer for apart from wasting my time it does not much.

    Regards

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our near-term plans, as well as the requested functionality for debugging purposes already exists. You can utilize previewing data capability, see PUB documentation https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/lifecycle-optimization-publishing/7.0.3?topic=schema-previewing-data for details. Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    Hello there,

    I can't tell in which version it disappeared but before the temporary XLM files were kept (and never automatically deleted) in the current user Windows profile: "user/appData/.../something/RPE/temp" (or similar).

    Then the files could be delete with a GUI menu command being something like "clean workspace" or similar.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you for submitting idea. IBM Engineering team review board evaluated this request and determined it will need additional time to evaluate this request.

    When you say ?It used to be possible in previous versions and I have no clue why this feature has been removed,? could you clarify which feature are you refereeing to? If you are referring to the preview, which allows you to see such data, it has not been removed.
