Configuring Rational DOORS as a TRS provider

You can configure IBM® Rational® DOORS® as a provider for tracked resource sets (TRS) by creating a functional user, a local key entry, and a working set.

Before you begin

To configure Rational DOORS as a provider for TRS, you must use version 9.4.0.1 or later of the database server. The server must be configured to exclude Rational DOORS clients that are earlier than version 9.4.0.1. To exclude those clients, go to the General tab of the Database Properties window and set the minimum client version to 9.4.0.1.

About this task

To use TRS and Lifecycle Query Engine (LQE), you must create the LQE Functional User in Rational DOORS. That user handles LQE requests from an integrated TRS consumer application to Rational DOORS Web Access. The user must be a standard Rational DOORS user who has privileges to read all Rational DOORS data that is intended for use in LQE. If you use values other than the default values that are provided in the following procedure, those values must match values in a Rational DOORS Web Access configuration file, as described in Configuring Rational DOORS Web Access as a TRS provider.

If you upgrade Rational DOORS to version 9.6.0 or later, you might need to add working set records to the TRS sets. Use the Initialize TRS command to add the projects and user records that are in the Rational DOORS working set to the TRS sets. If you create working set records in Rational DOORS to version 9.6.0 or later, the projects and user records are added automatically.

Procedure

  1. Log on to Rational DOORS by using an account that has database management privileges.
  2. In Rational DOORS, create a functional user for LQE, as described in Viewing, creating, editing, and deleting users. The default user name is LQE Functional User; the default password is qwert6. If you do not use the default user and password, you must specify the user credentials in a Rational DOORS Web Access configuration file.
  3. To create a local key entry for the functional user, click File > OSLC > Local Keys > Add. The default values are as follows:
    • Consumer name: LQE Functional User
    • Consumer key: LQE Functional User Key
    • OAuth secret and Confirm secret: qwert6
    If you do not use the default values, you must specify this consumer information in a Rational DOORS Web Access configuration file.
  4. Click Register and close the Local Keys windows.
  5. Identify all of the modules that you want to make available to TRS consumer applications. Then, add those modules to the working set. For detailed instructions, see Configuring Rational DOORS data for external applications.
  6. If you upgrade Rational DOORS to version 9.6.0 or later, add the projects and user records that are in the working set to the TRS sets. Click File > OSLC > Initialize TRS.
