Creating Lifecycle Query Engine reports on data from Engineering Requirements Management DOORS

You can write LQE reports on data from IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® . Use the Engineering Requirements Management DOORS working set, attribute and link type mapping, and the reportable shape to determine which data is available for reports.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. In LQE, add DOORS as a resource group.
    1. On the Lifecycle Query Engine Home page, click Administration or go to http://<host_name>:<port>/lqe/web/admin/data-sources and click Permissions under Access Control.
    2. On the Permissions page, select the DOORS 9 - DOORS ERS Repository (TRS 2.0) data group and add specific users, a user group, or the Everyone group to grant permission for running DOORS reports. For more information, see Managing user access to data sources in Lifecycle Query Engine.
    3. On the Administration page, click Data Providers under Query & report data.
    4. Click DOORS 9 - DOORS ERS Repository (TRS 2.0) and then, click Reindex to reindex the data provider.
    Note: Whatever data that is seen by the LQE Functional User in DOORS and added to the working set in DOORS , can be seen by all users that get added to the DOORS TRS permissions in LQE. The project area DOORS Database - RM Project Area that gets created in LQE derives its permissions from the DOORS TRS permissions, since there is no correlation between JTS users and DOORS users.
  2. After the reindexing is complete, manually refresh the type system model for the LQE data source in Report Builder:
    1. Open Report Builder (https://server_name:port/rs).
    2. Click the Administration icon Gear icon for administration on the product banner and select Data Sources.
    3. Click the Lifecycle Query Engine link.
    4. Click Refresh.
      Data source admin page
  3. Start building a Lifecycle Query Engine report.
  4. When you build the report, limit the scope to DOORS Database - RM Project Area.
  5. Select the Requirement> DOORS Requirement artifact type.
    DOORS Requirement artifact
  6. When you are satisfied with the format of your report, run the report.
