You can configure Rational® DOORS® to internally support Open
Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC); then, you can preview
linked objects when you hover over links.
Before you begin
A Rational DOORS Web Access server must be
installed and configured.
About this task
Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web
Access can work with lifecycle applications through an integration
that is based on the implementation of OSLC specifications.
To
set up OSLC support for internal links between objects that are in
the same database, you configure Rational DOORS as a provider and a consumer
for the Requirements Management domain. You must create a local OAuth
consumer key and an OAuth secret and then enter the Rational DOORS Web
Access root services URL in your Rational DOORS OSLC configuration.
Procedure
- Log in to Rational DOORS as a database manager or
a custom user who can manage the database.
- Click .
- In the Register OAuth Consumer - DOORS window,
click Add.
- For the consumer name, type a recognizable name for the Rational DOORS Web Access, such as DWA.
- Do not type a value for the consumer key.
- For the OAuth secret, type a secret OAuth code, such as dwa.
In the next field, confirm your entry.
- Click Register. A
new entry is created in the list of OAuth consumers, and a local consumer
key is generated for that entry.
- To save a copy of the consumer key, select the new entry
and click Edit. Copy the consumer key to a
text file, and then close the window.
- Click .
- In the Server List pane, click Add and
provide this information:
You do not need collaboration link type entries to enable OSLC
support for internal links.
- Click Register. The
server is added to the list.
Results
The first time that users hover over a link in a Rational DOORS,
they are prompted to log in to Rational DOORS Web Access before they can
see the link preview.
