Defining attribute mapping

The first step in retrieving requirements is to define which change management attributes you want to retrieve. Then, you define the corresponding IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS) attributes where the values are to be transferred.

Procedure

  1. In DOORS, open the module for which you want to define attributes.
  2. On the main menu, select Change Management > Retrieve Requirements from change management tool > Define Attribute Mapping.

    The Attribute Mapping - DOORS window opens.

  3. In the DOORS Attribute field, select one of the DOORS attributes listed, and then click Edit.

    The Select CM Attribute to Map To - DOORS window opens.

  4. In the CM Attributes field, click to select the change request attribute you want mapped to the DOORS attribute you selected.
  5. Click Close.

    If you do not select a change request attribute before you click Close, no mapping is created. This method can also be used to remove existing mappings.

  6. Repeat the preceding steps for each DOORS attribute you want to map.
  7. If you are finished mapping attributes, click OK to save the changes and to close the window.
