Integrating DOORS and PUB

You can configure the integration with IBM® Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Publishing (PUB) to generate report documents from within IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® (DOORS).
Important: Before you install PUB, install DOORS. If you install PUB first, you must modify the DOORS registry entry after you install.

When your DOORS database server is configured for secure mode, if you want to publish reports by using PUB you must ensure that there is a security certificate associated with PUB and that PUB is configured for secure communications. For more information, see Configuring DOORS for server security, Security considerations for PUB, and Setting up RPE and DOORS DXL Security.

In PUB, you can select modules and module views as the basis for your reports. You can also use the DOORS schema discovery wizard to generate a new schema. Data source schemas simplify the authoring of document templates for modules that have the same structure and similar attribute lists. You build a report template by using specific columns, attributes, queries, and variables from DOORS. You can prevent PUB from retrieving more information than necessary by filtering data to a specific subset. After you create the report template and populate it with DOORS data points, you can generate a report in various formats.

For more information, see “ Integrating DOORS and PUB ” in the PUB documentation.
