Hi,

I set up a module for shareable edit and I no longer would like it set up this way.  Isn't there an easy way to shut off shareable edit so it is no longer an option when opening the module?

Thanks!

Jared.

If I recall correctly there is a script on www.smartdxl.com that will let you reset access rights.

Jared,

I don't know of a method off the top of my head, per se, but you could set shareable to be level 1, which would make opening a module in shareable edit pretty much useless.

Or also in DOORS: see the script in DXL Library.

Edit / Tools / DXL Library, browse to "Some example programs which illustrate various DXL features" / "Example to remove sections from all objects in display set". This script has a description of: Set access rights on objects in the display set to "inherited", thus removing sections.

Hi Jared,

I do not exactly understand your question.
The first part seems, that you want to remove the sections from a Module so that it cannot be edited in shareable edit mode anymore:

Object o;
for o in entire current Module do inherited (o);

should do that job.

If you won't to have the menu entries to enable the shareable edit mode (as ist sounds in second part your your question) you need to modify formal.dxl and baseWindowMenu.inc in folder %doorshome%/lib/dxl/config.
If you are changing that files you will do this at your own risk!

@Kevin: Why should share level 1 make the shareable edit mode useless?

Greetings
Reik

Don't confuse setting up the module for shared and preventing folks from opening it shared. Even if the module has no shared sections (AKA objects with specific access rights), a user can still open it Shared. They cannot lock any section (since there aren't any) and cannot edit any attribute definitions (which requires Exclusive edit), but they can still open it Shared, even though that would be silly as they cannot do anything but still stop other folks from editing it exclusively.

At one time in the past I had a post-module-open trigger who's job it was to downgrade to Read any Shared or Exclusive open module command when the user lacked edit rights to the module. That was a DOORS v4 thing which became almost useless in DOORS v5 when they greyed out Shared and Edit options when the user lacked rights. Even so, it downgraded open modes when the user uses DXL or followed links to open the module. Anyway, you could have such a post-module-open trigger in your project that detects modules with no shared sections and downgrades the Shared open when there are no sections in it.

Reik,

You caught me--I'm speaking about modules that I see day to day. My statement was very, very general, so I need to clarify it.

In most of the modules I administer, Section 3 is where the changes occur. After sections 1 and 2 are set, they rarely change. Thus, in my company, if I set shareable to level 1, shareable edit is absolutely useless and my users would complain quite a bit.

But that's not a fact across the board. In fact, I've got a module now that represents use cases and every use case is its own section, so shareable edit at level 1 is exactly what I would do to set it up.

I just spoke before completely thinking things through. In most of my work experience, shareable edit is useless at level 1, but not in all of my experience.
