Analyzing links
A link analysis provides information about links to or from the current object. It is an
analysis of standard IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS)
links. External links are ignored during link analysis.
About this task
This task describes how to run a link analysis that:
- Opens every module that contains a linked object
- Applies a filter so that only the linked objects are displayed
The depth of the analysis determines how far you want to travel down the chain of linked objects.
For example, if you run an analysis with a depth of 2, linked objects, and the objects that are linked to those objects are displayed.
Procedure
- Select the object whose links you want to analyze.
- Click .
- Select the options that you want for the analysis and then click OK. If a source or target object is in another module, and the module is not already open, it is opened in read-only mode. The data in both modules is filtered to show only the linked objects. If you change from read-only mode to exclusive edit mode, the filter applied to the source or target module by the link analysis is removed. The current module view is loaded.
