Tracking changes to IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS data
Use history records and links to track changes to data,
and manage the impact that changes have to other items in the database.
- Change bars
In IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® ( DOORS) change bars show the status of the objects in the module. The color of the change bar, a symbol, and hover help combine to display the status of an object. - Module history
You can view the history of the module on the History tab of the Module Properties window in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS). - Redline markup in DOORS
The comparison that generates redline markup in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS) is made on a word by word basis between two static pieces of text. A longest common subsequence algorithm is used. DOORS does not save information about individual keystrokes, so the redline markup might not reflect the sequence of changes performed by the user. - Suspect links and changed objects
Changes to objects in IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS) can affect the validity of data in linked objects. Linked objects are marked as having suspect links if the object that they are linked to has changed. You can check modules for suspect links, and display information about changes that have caused links to be marked as suspect. If necessary, you can update the module and then clear suspect links.
