You can manage requirements and other artifacts that you
create in Rational® Requirements Composer by
embedding them in documents and adding the documents as modules in Rational DOORS® . You must
first configure Rational Requirements Composer to
integrate with Rational DOORS .
Before you begin
You must have access to a
Rational DOORS server
database. The Redirector Service must be installed on the
Rational DOORS server
in order to use this integration.
Procedure
- Right-click a project in the Project Explorer and click Open.
- In the Projects window, click the Administration tab.
This tab is displayed only if you have an Administrator role for the
project.
- At the DOORS entry in the Connections
for Synchronizing Requirements section, click Create connection.
The Edit Connection to DOORS wizard opens.
- Type the fully qualified name and port number of the Rational DOORS Interface
Services Server; for example, doors_server.example.com:8080.
- If the Rational DOORS server
is configured for secure connections, select the secure check
box. This enables https rather than http protocol.
- Type the user name and password, and then click Next.
- In the Database Selection screen,
select a Rational DOORS database
and click Finish.
Results
The connection to the database is saved with the project.
The
Rational DOORS Interface
Services Server URL and database are displayed in the Connections
for Synchronizing Requirements section of the Administration tab.
What to do next
To add artifacts to the Rational DOORS database,
see Associating a document with a Rational DOORS module.
To remove a connection to a Rational DOORS database,
click Remove Connection in the Connections
for Synchronizing Requirements section on the Administration tab.
If you remove the connection and add a new one because you migrated
the Rational DOORS database
to a new server, the synchronization function attempts to restore
the association to modules on the new server.
