Does anyone know of a dxl that will scan through a module and populate an attribute with the history of the object?  DOORS 8.0 has the default capability to provide a list of history on the module but I'd like for the history to show up in an attribute that I define. This way, it would be possible for a reviewer to see the actual changes right next to the object text and other attributes associated with an object.

I am using DOORS 8.0.

Thanks!

History is real tricky, mostly because the various history.properties generate DXL errors if they don't apply to the history.type: e.g. hst.attrName cannot be used for Delete Object history.

Anyway, the attached may get you going. Be advised that history generated before the latest baseline is stored in that baseline and this function won't find it; that is it finds history since the last baseline.

There is a kitchen script that allows you to create a dynamic history column. The history is shown as redline marke up in a DXL column. You also have the option to create a DXL attribute.

See thread here

Use the Force...err....use the DXL Library.

Tools / DXL Library and then browse to Some example programs which.... / Example to create a layout DXL DXL column that shows changes to object text:

This tool creates a DXL column which uses a rich-text markup scheme
to show changes to Object Text with respect to some original version.

The original version can be selected from the following sources:

- the current value of Object Text, so that all future changes are marked up in the history column

- the Object Text as it was in a named baseline of the current Module

- the value of a named attribute.

The original text is stored in a text attribute called "Old Text", and
can be over-written by a subsequent use of the tool.

The fonts used to mark up the changes in text can be selected. The
default is to show inserted text using underline, and deleted text
using strike-through.

Current limitations:
- changes to fonts in the object text are ignored.
- changes to attributes other than Object Text are not shown.
- deleted and moved objects are not portrayed as changes.
