Integrating Rational Requirements Composer and Rational DOORS

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

  1. Right-click a project in the Project Explorer and click Open.
  2. In the Projects window, click the Administration tab. This tab is displayed only if you have an Administrator role for the project.
  3. At the DOORS entry in the Connections for Synchronizing Requirements section, click Create connection. The Edit Connection to DOORS wizard opens.
  4. Type the fully qualified name and port number of the Rational DOORS Interface Services Server; for example, doors_server.example.com:8080.
  5. If the Rational DOORS server is configured for secure connections, select the secure check box. This enables https rather than http protocol.
  6. Type the user name and password, and then click Next.
  7. 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.
