Integrated data in Rational DOORS modules

The content of Rational® Requirements Composer documents is added to Rational DOORS® as modules. The integrated data in a module includes a summary object, special attributes, and links to the document and embedded artifacts in Rational Requirements Composer.
This topic describes the integrated data that is included in the Rational DOORS module. The data is updated when the integration is synchronized from within the Rational Requirements Composer document.

Summary object

The summary object provides information about the time of the last synchronization and the user who performed it. This object also contains a reference to the module name at the time of the last synchronization. If the referenced name does not match the actual name of the module, the module is a copy of the original integrated module.

Special Rational DOORS attributes

The following attributes are created in the module to manage the integration with the Rational Requirements Composer document. Do not modify the values of these attributes:
  • allComposerAttributes
  • SyncSession
  • SyncUser
  • composerId
  • Copied Absolute Number
  • isRequirement
Note: The Date attribute for modules and objects has a limited range of 1/1/1904 to 31/12/2102. If the Rational Requirements Composer document or an embedded artifact in the document has a date attribute set outside this range, that value is not synchronized and will not be recorded in Rational DOORS .

Rational Requirements Composer attributes

The attributes of the Rational Requirements Composer document and its embedded artifacts are included in the module. Do not modify the value of these attributes in the Rational DOORS module. Any changes you make to these attributes are overwritten when the associated document is synchronized in Rational Requirements Composer.

Rational Requirements Composer links

Objects in the module contain links to the corresponding content in the Rational Requirements Composer document. Each paragraph in the document corresponds to an object in the module. Embedded artifacts in the document also are represented as objects in the module. Links from each object include:
  • A link to the version of the paragraph or embedded artifact at the time of the most recent synchronization.
  • A link to the current version of the paragraph or embedded artifact.

To update the module in Rational DOORS with changes from the Rational Requirements Composer document, see Synchronizing documents with Rational DOORS.
