Applying approved requirements change requests
When proposals are approved, use Change Management for Rational® DOORS® to apply the proposed changes to the Rational DOORS module.
Procedure
Results
The system automatically checks all approved RCRs for conflicts.
- If conflicts are found, the apply process is Canceled and the approved changes are not applied. The reason is written to a status log.
- If no conflicts are found, the apply process is completed. Then, the change management feature checks all non-approved RCRs associated with the modules that were affected by the applied RCR. If there are any conflicts, the change management feature marks all non-approved RCRs with conflicts as obsolete.
Example
Applied RCR 1 is checked against three non-approved RCRs: RCR 2, RCR 3, and RCR 4. The system identifies a conflict with RCR 3, and RCR 3 is marked obsolete.
When you open a module associated with RCR 3 and RCR 3 is the default RCR, the Conflict Resolution for RCR - DOORS dialog box opens. Then, you resolve the conflict. See Resolving conflicts.
