Configuring modules for use with the change management feature

After you defining at least one configuration template, you are ready to configure your modules.

About this task

You can simultaneously configure all modules inside a folder or project by right-clicking the folder or project in the Rational® DOORS® Database Explorer. Then, select Change Management > Configure All Modules.

Procedure

  1. In Rational DOORS, open the module you want to configure.
  2. On the main menu, select Change Management > Configure Module.
  3. In the Template Name field, select the configuration template you want to use for this module.

    If you have not created a configuration template, do so now. See Defining configuration templates.

  4. To show the change management menus, in the Integration Status field, select ON to activate the change management feature for this module.

    If you do not want to use the feature for this module, select OFF.

  5. Enable requirements change management for this module.
    1. Select Enable Requirements Change Management.

      For more information, see Managing Change Requirements.

    2. Click DOORS Attributes Managed by RCRs.

      The Select Managed Attributes - DOORS window opens.

    3. Select the attribute or attributes you want to manage with requirements change management, and then click Apply.
    4. Click Close to close the Select Managed Attributes - DOORS window.
    5. If you want changes to the links to be saved immediately rather than being attached to RCRs as proposed changes, clear the Manage Internal DOORS Links option. Then the out-links on newly created objects are always managed.

      If a user modifies the value of any attribute that is not selected in this dialog box, the changes are saved to the Rational DOORS document rather than being associated with an RCR.

      • Click to highlight the attribute, and then click Close.
