Collaboration links
You create collaboration links from a IBM®
Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® - Web
Access
(DWA)
object or module view to artifacts in change management, quality management, requirements
management, and Architecture Management applications in the IBM
Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) and
other lifecycle applications. Collaboration links support traceability across project repositories
in different applications.
Before you can create collaboration links in DWA, the web server and the IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS (DOORS) database must be configured. For more information about configuring the database, see Integrating requirements data with other data types using OSLC.
After the integrations are configured, you can create and follow links between the products. These links are called collaboration links.
There are these types of collaboration links:
- Implemented by link for defects and other work items in Change Management applications, such as IBM Engineering Workflow Management.
- Validated by link for test artifacts in Quality Management applications, such as IBM Engineering Test Management.
- References link for artifacts in Requirements Management applications, such as Overview of IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next and IBM Rational® Requirements Composer.
- Refines, Satisfies, Trace links for models and resources in Architecture Management applications.
- View DOORS artifacts in IBM Engineering Lifecycle Optimization - Engineering Insights (ENI). The Administrator can download and deploy the DOORS Requirement Management content package to see DOORS 9 artifacts in ENI views. To download the package, see Managing project content. You can also download the package from Deploying the DOORS Requirement Management content package.
