[DNG]: Allow attributes selection for ReqIF

** Customer need ** 

We need to export a module from DNG in ReqIF format to share its data with an internal or external third party. However, not wanting to share everything (let's assume sensitive internal data), we will configure the ReqIF to show only certain data through the definition of a request.

** DOORS situation **

In DOORS project, in Property, go to ReqIF Definition (Attribute-Selection-01.png).

We have the possibility to:

  • Choose modules to add in th ReqIF
  • Choose to add a local lock on some data (it allows to avoid to modify locally data)
  • Choose a view to filter attributes 

-> Importing this requirement into DOORS or DNG only allows you to have the selected attributes for all the artifacts you are targeting. (the filter also works on artifacts).

** DNG  situation **

In DNG module, in Property, go to ReqIF Definition (Attribute-Selection-02.png).

We have the possibility to:

  • Choose artifacts to export (from or outside the module)
  • Choose to add a DOORS lock on some attributes
  • Choose view to include (they don't filter the content)

-> Importing this ReqIF gives us the entire data model of my base component as well as all the data of the module (no filter on the exported data).

    DOORS Next already provides the capability to export to ReqIF only some attributes when selecting a shared view.
    See step 5 in https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/doors-next/7.0.3?topic=files-exporting-reqif
    "5. Click Add Artifact or Add Module to select a module or select a shared view to specify exported artifacts and attributes from the module, as defined by the view's filter and columns.
    When you use a shared view, some system-specified attributes are always included in the export to ensure that import and roundtrip works as expected"
