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.
To integrate two Rational DOORS projects in separate databases, configure each
database as a provider of requirements management services and a consumer of the
services that are available in the integrated database:
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.
