Automatic link discovery

When you configure Rational® DOORS® to use OSLC to integrate with a remote server, and Rational DOORS uses link discovery to determine whether there are links to the remote server, you can determine whether link discovery is performed automatically or decided by individual users.
If the Enable automatic querying for OSLC links check box on the Register Server window is cleared, link discovery is not performed automatically. The first time a team member opens a module in a session, the OSLC link discovery window is displayed, allowing them to choose whether to perform link discovery during that session and subsequent sessions.
Note: The Enable automatic querying for OSLC links check box is only available if Rational DOORS uses link discovery to determine whether there are links to the remote server.

If users decide not to perform link discovery, links to artifacts in the remote server are not displayed.

Users can also control automatic link discovery in the OSLC link query tab on the Options window.
Note: The OSLC link query tab is displayed only if the Enable automatic querying for OSLC links check box on the Register Server window is cleared and if Rational DOORS uses link discovery to determine whether there are links to the remote server.
