  Introduction  Deleting information from any document is something to think about twice may be thrice. But deleting a requirement from a specification is not as simple as deleting a sentence. A requirement is an object which holds not only the specification sentence but other information like name-value pair attributes, history, link information etc.  In this document we will try to explain possible ways to approach how to delete requirements  Challenges Sometimes it is required to discard some information from the project for various reasons. But even in such cases, when specification information is discarded, there are still some risks as follows:  It may break the integrity of the overall information map.  The information piece to be discarded may not be needed in one configuration but may still be critical in others.  The information piece to be discarded now, may still be an important component of an audit trail  The information…

In Doors NG there are three types of templates - Project Area Template, Module Template, and Artifact Template. All of these templates can be managed on the project administration Templates page. Config. Management enabled =  Manage Component Properties --> Templates --> Component or Artifact Templates (in the left sidebar)Config. Management disabled= Manage Project Properties --> Templates --> Project or Artifact Templates (in the left sidebar)

Introduction  IBM® Rational® DOORS® Next Generation is consistently one of the best requirements management tools out there. One of its biggest strengths is the opportunity to expand its capabilities by the people using it, so that they can utilize it to its fullest.

Introduction The history is an important part of the requirements management tool and the purpose of this article is to explain functions and capabilities of DOORS Next for working with history of requirements.   Artifact revisions On the very basic level history of requirements management items in DOORS Next is organized on artifacts level and is presented as revisions and audit history. This information is accessible for artifacts via ‘Open history’ action in the menu (Figure 1).  Figure 1   The first tab you see when you open history is ‘Revisions’, it is splitted on ‘Today’, ‘Yesterday’, ‘Past week’, ‘Past month’ and ‘Earlier’ sections which include different versions of an artifact and baselines of project area or component. When you switch to the ‘Audit history’ tab you see only versions of a current artifact with explanation of actions performed on it and changes which were created with information on date…

For completeness, the DNG public API's that are available are:  RDNG Reportable API - extracting read only information from RDNG generally for creating custom reports to be run from DNG or RPE. As well, it can be used in a lot of custom applications interacting with RDNG. Big advantage of this API is its simplicity and great performance if you need to work with big amounts of data. Sometimes it's called as RDNG Reportable REST API. OSLC RM V2 API - the open standard way to programmatically integrate with DOORS Next Generation, there is an elaborate workshop to get you started here OSLC Workshop article. These programs can be from any language that supports various HTTP methods of requests, e.g. Java, C# etc. Hence these are more flexible to run and can read and update DNG data, as part of a web server, or standalone, but have some limitations set by the current OSLC standard, for example…

This article explains how to use the "Link by attribute" function to automatically create, update, or delete one or more links between artifacts based on values in the attributes of the artifact.

In this article you will learn how to create link constraints in requirements management to ensure coherence and consistency in your project and how to prevent user errors and inconsistencies when creating links between requirements.

This Article provides an overview of basic terms and definitions related to artifacts, modules, and collections. It highlights the relationships and differences between base and model artifacts and emphasizes the importance of understanding these concepts when working with artifacts in a project.

Find out how effective requirements management promotes cooperation, reduces risks, and paves the way to project success through proper team management.

Option 1:  Project Area or Component Template How to: In the current project go to Project or Component Properties > Templates Create New Click on data which you want to copy (if you click on Artifact then all artifact will be part of the template Create a new project area or component and use a template for creation (template must be downloaded and uploaded if you are porting to a new server) Advantages: Works also for porting to a new server Links between artifacts are kept project area properties are automatically saved Are links within the project area/component are kept

Discover the power of templates in DNG. Explore how these templates in DOORS Next Generation streamline workflows and enhance project management.
