in read-only mode.
- On the main menu, select .
The Apply Requirements Change
Requests - DOORS window opens and displays every approved
RCR for the current module.

selectAlso create baseline after apply.

Results
The system automatically checks all approved RCRs for conflicts.
- If conflicts are found, the apply process is Canceled and the
approved changes are not applied. The reason is written to a status
log.
- If no conflicts are found, the apply process is completed. Then,
the change management feature checks all non-approved RCRs associated
with the modules that were affected by the applied RCR. If there are
any conflicts, the change management feature marks all non-approved
RCRs with conflicts as obsolete.
Example
Applied RCR 1 is checked against three non-approved RCRs:
RCR 2, RCR 3, and RCR 4. The system identifies a conflict with RCR
3, and RCR 3 is marked obsolete.
When you open a module associated
with RCR 3 and RCR 3 is the default RCR, the Conflict Resolution for
RCR - DOORS dialog box opens.
Then, you resolve the conflict. See Resolving
conflicts.
