Integrating Rational DOORS and Rational Design Manager

You can configure IBM® Rational® DOORS® to integrate with IBM Rational Rhapsody® Design Manager by configuring the applications to associate requirements with design elements and resources using Open Services for Lifecycle Collaboration (OSLC) linking.

The Design Management solution provides web-based, collaborative tools that are based on Jazz™ technology. Teams can use the design management capabilities to integrate design into the overall systems engineering and application lifecycles and collaborate on models and designs.

Design resources are linked to requirements management artifacts in Rational DOORS by using the following link types in Design Management:

By integrating Rational DOORS with Design Management, you can link requirements and requirements-related artifacts to design artifacts. You can use models to elaborate the design, structure, and relationships between development artifacts. Stakeholders can collaborate on designs and ensure that they are relevant and aligned with business and design requirements. You can create and view links in both Design Management and Rational DOORS. When you hover your cursor over the links, you can view a summary of the linked artifacts or resources. For a demonstration of linking, see the IBM developerWorks® article OSLC linking in IBM Rational Design Manager 4.0 with Rational Rhapsody and DOORS.

OSLC is a set of specifications for linking and viewing artifacts across the software development lifecycle. To enable communication between the applications, you must do these tasks:

For information about integrating directly with Rational Rhapsody with a non-OSLC interface, see the documentation Integrating Rational Rhapsody and Rational DOORS.
