Navigation from Rhapsody to DOORS

It is possible to navigate from Rhapsody to DOORS.
Several configuration steps are required to allow this.

Add a URL Attribute in DOORS

To add a URL Attribute:

• Open the Module(s) to migrate, and select the menu Edit > Attributes...
• Click the New... button.
• Set a Name to the newly created attribute, select the checkbox DXL Attribute, and select the button Browse...
  
  
  
• Select the New... button to edit the DXL Attribute.
• Add the following DXL code in the edit part:
  Module m
AttrDef ad
AttrType at
m = module obj
ad = find(m,attrDXLName)
if(!null ad && ad.object)
{
 at = ad.type
 if(at.type == attrText)
 {
  string s
  Buffer val = create
  Buffer temp = create
  ad = find(m,"Object Text")
  if(!null ad)
  {
   probeRichAttr_(obj,"Object Text", temp, false)
   val += tempStringOf temp
   val += " "
  }
  obj.attrDXLName = richText (getURL(obj))
  delete val
  delete temp
 }
}

  
  
  Select OK button.
• Export the Requirements from DOORS.

Configure ReqXChanger to export and synchronize with Rhapsody

ReqXChanger needs to be configured to enable the navigation:

• From ReqXChanger, reads the exported ReqIF file (with the Attribute URL).
• From Rhapsody Options, select Mode > Weblink option. Select Create Weblink during Export option.
• Select Mode > Weblink > Weblink Mapping option.
  • Set a name to the Hyperlink.
  • To the URL-Mapping option, select $URL$
    
    
    Select OK button.

Requirements can now be synchronized with ReqXChanger.
For each Requirement created in Rhapsody, a hyperlink is also created. It permits the navigation to the original DOORS Requirement:
