You can configure IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS)
to internally support Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC); then, you can preview linked
objects when you hover over links.
Before you begin
A
IBM
Engineering Requirements Management DOORS - Web
Access
(
DWA)
server must be installed and configured.
About this task
DOORS
and DWA can
work with lifecycle applications through an integration that is based on the implementation of OSLC
specifications.
To set up OSLC support for internal links between objects that are in the same
database, you configure DOORS as
a provider and a consumer for the Requirements Management domain. You must create a local OAuth
consumer key and an OAuth secret and then enter the DWA root
services URL in your DOORS
OSLC configuration.
To integrate two
DOORS
projects in separate databases, configure each database as a provider of requirements management
services and a consumer of the services that are available in the integrated database:
Procedure
- Log in to DOORS as
a database manager or a custom user who can manage the database.
- Click .
- In the Register OAuth Consumer - DOORS window, click
Add.
- For the consumer name, type a recognizable name for the DWA,
such as DWA.
- Do not type a value for the consumer key.
- For the OAuth secret, type a secret OAuth code, such as
dwa. In the next field, confirm your
entry.
- Click Register. A new entry is created in the list of OAuth consumers, and a local
consumer key is generated for that entry.
- To save a copy of the consumer key, select the new entry and click
Edit. Copy the consumer key to a text file, and then
close the window.
- Click .
- In the Server List pane, click Add
and provide this information:
You do not need collaboration link type entries to enable OSLC support for
internal links.
- Click Register. The server is added to the list.
Results
The first time that users hover over a link in a
DOORS,
they are prompted to log in to
DWA
before they can see the link preview.
