Configuring the working set for external applications

You can configure the working set to specify which IBM® Rational® DOORS® projects, folders, and modules are available for use by tracked resource set (TRS), the link discovery capability, and reporting in Jazz™ Reporting Service.

Before you begin

The use of the working set for data exchange and reporting requires the full stack of Rational DOORS Web Access components, including the Apache Derby database. For more information see Installing Rational DOORS Web Access.

About this task

The configuration of the working set applies to the entire Rational DOORS database. The interface is locked while it is in use to prevent multiple users from concurrently making changes in the working set.

To report on links between objects in two different modules, both modules must be included in the working set.

If you add a module to a working set, the project that contains the module is not added to the working set. If a module that is included in a working set is moved to another project, objects in that project and the project itself are not added to the working set automatically. To expose a complete project in TRS, link discovery, or the reporting application, you must add the project to the working set.

Procedure

To create or modify the working set:

  1. Click File > OSLC > Working Sets. The Configure DOORS for Working Set window opens.
  2. In the Select Project window, select projects, folders, or modules. Optionally, select a project or folder and click a button below the pane:
    • To include all folders and modules below the selected project or folder, click Select all below.
    • To remove the selection from all objects below the selected project or folder, click Deselect all below.
  3. Click Apply.
  4. In the Select Modules pane, select projects, folders, and modules to add them to the working set. Click the objects again to clear the check mark and remove them from the working set. All modules that are created in the future in a selected folder will be added to the working set. Existing modules are only included in the working set if they are selected when the working set is created.
  5. To open the Current changes window and show items that are added or removed, click Review changes.
  6. Click Apply and Close.

    By default, only the Default view of a module is sent to the data warehouse. To report on all other views of the module, perform these additional steps:

    1. In the Rational DOORS Web Access festival.xml file, add this property: <f:property name="enable.query.reporting.default.view.only" value="false"/>.
    2. Restart all the Rational DOORS Web Access components.
    3. Log in to Rational DOORS and click File > OSLC > Working Sets.
    4. Open the project or folder that contains the modules, and clear the check boxes to remove modules. Click Apply. Then, select the check boxes to add the modules back to the working set and click Apply.
