Hi,

When we are designing our software we decompose the system into components so that each component may be developed independently. So we have a system design specification which shows its component parts and their interfaces. Each component specification also needs to declare its interfaces.

To do this we copy the interface specifications from the system specification into the component specification and create links at the same time from the component to the system spec.

What we need to be able to do is to update the component specification easily when the parent spec (system) changes. I envisaged some macro that will allow me to select a objects in the component specification and update them (litterally copy) from the parent.

Is there a way in DOORS to do this already or do I have to start hacking dxl?

Many thanks
Ian Kirwan

Hi i dont think there is a tool given in DOORS to update Links but u can do the same using DXL a small example Object o = current Link lnk ModName_ targetMod Object trgo for o in current Module do { for lnk in o->"*" do { targetMod = target lnk trgo = target lnk ohead = probeAttr_(trgo, "Statethere") // probe attribute Statethere from the target Module o."StatusHere" = ohead // update that state in this Module } }
