Obtaining requirements

Use this topic to learn how to obtain requirements.

Procedure

  1. In Rational® DOORS®, open the applicable module.
  2. On the main menu, select Change Management > Retrieve Requirements from change management tool > Get Requirements.

    The Get Requirements from CM - DOORS window opens. If you have any saved options, you can click Load Options to load them now.

    For steps, see Loading saved options.

  3. In the Query String field, type the OSLC approved query string to be used during requirements gathering.
  4. In the Insertion Point field, select one of the following options to tell the system where to insert the Rational DOORS objects that are created by the get requirements operation:
    • Top of module: Places all new objects at the top of the current module.
    • After current object: Places all new requirements after the current object at the same level of the hierarchy.
    • Below current object: Places all new requirements below the current object in the hierarchy.
  5. In the Processed CR Action field, select one of the following options:
    • Ignore Processed (or Existing) CRs: Any CR that has already been imported into the current module is ignored. Change requests that have not yet been imported are retrieved.
    • Update Processed (or Existing) CRs: The Rational DOORS object representing any CR that has already been processed is updated with the current values of the CR attributes. Change requests that have not yet been imported are retrieved.
  6. If you want to do an import later, click Save Options to save these options.

    For steps, see Saving selected options.

  7. Click Import to begin the import process.
