Configuring the DOORS server

To integrate IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS) version 9.4 and later and IBM Engineering Test Management (ETM) , you must configure the DOORS server to communicate with the ETM server.

About this task

Note: This topic applies to DOORS version 9.4 and later. For information about integration ETM with DOORS version 9.3 and earlier, see the related topic in the DOORS version 9.3/9.4 documentation.

Procedure

  1. Log in to DOORS as a database manager or as a custom user who has the power to manage the database.
  2. If you are running DOORS version 9.5.1 and later, select File > Remote Services. If you are running a version of DOORS that is after version 9.4 but before version 9.5.1, select the database database icon, right-click Properties, and then click the Remote Services tab.
  3. Add the ETM server to the server list:
    1. Click Add, and enter a name for the connection, for example, ETM.
    2. Enter the URL for the root services of the ETM server in the following format: https://<server_name:port number>/qm/rootservices. Use the fully qualified server name for server.
    3. Enter the consumer key and enter the consumer secret in OAuth secret. You made a note of these when you set up the ETM server.
    4. Click Register. The server is added to the list.
  4. Add collaboration links from ETM projects to the DOORS database:
    1. In the Collaboration Links pane, click Add.
    2. Select the ETM server that you registered. If a security warning is displayed, click Yes.
    3. In the window that opens, log in to ETM.
    4. Select the project that you want to access from DOORS, highlight the Validated by link type, and click Add.
    5. In DOORS, the project is displayed in the Collaboration Links pane of theRemote Services window.
  5. Typically, a Consumer Key and an OAuth Secret are created when you added DOORS as a friend to ETM earlier. If they were not created, create a Consumer Key and OAuth Secret for the server:
    1. If you are running DOORS version 9.5.1 and later, select File > Local Keys. If you are running a version of DOORS that is after version 9.4 but before version 9.5.1, select the database database icon, right-click Properties, and then click the Local Keys tab.
    2. Click Add.
    3. Enter the name of the connection for ETM.
    4. Enter the Consumer Key and the OAuth Secret. You made a note of these when you added DOORS to DOORS as a friend.
    5. Click Register, and then click Close.
    ETM and DOORS are now configured to communicate with one another. Team members can create links between modules and individual requirements in DOORS and test plans and test cases in ETM in the associated projects.
