DNG Advanced ReqIF Import Option: "Allow link type modification"

Description

New Import option for DNG Advanced ReqIF Import: Enable or disable “Allow link type modification”.

  • When the option is enabled, DNG Advanced ReqIF Import shall be able to modify existing link types

  • When the option is disabled, DNG Advanced ReqIF Import shall not be able to modify existing link types

DNG shall also make this DNG Advanced ReqIF Import option available via the DNG OSLC API. The corresponding DNG OSLC API shall be public and documented.

Motivation / Reason

The reason for a ReqIF roundtrip exchange is that the other side is supposed to do some changes to the data.

Depending on the use case different sides of the exchange will not want to import certain changes to the data, even if those changes are present in the ReqIF (either because the other side of the exchange erroneously did these changes or the data inside the ReqIF was changed due to the import / export tools being used).

One prominent example is the exchange of requirements between an OEM and a Supplier. The OEM will never want to import any changes to artifact type definitions, artifact attribute definitions, attribute data type definitions or link type definotions, as the Supplier is not supposed to change any of these aspects of the data.

To prevent the import of unwanted data / unwanted changes to DNG by the import, the user must be able to select what type of data in the ReqIF shall be imported and which type shall not be imported. In other words, the user must be able to select what kind of changes the DNG Advanced ReqIF Import is allowed to do.
