Creating data warehouse reports on data from Engineering Requirements Management DOORS

You can create data warehouse 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

Prepare your data in DOORS by following the steps in Configuring DOORS data for external applications.

Procedure

  1. In Data Collection Component , add DOORS as a resource group 6 (step 6).
    1. In the Version field, you can enter the version of DOORS as a label.
    2. For the Unique Identifier field, you might want to use a GUID Generator such as www.guidgenerator.com to generate a unique identifier to copy and paste into that field.
    Note:

    Whatever data can be seen by the DOORS user, which is set in the Data Collection Component resource group for DOORS , is the data that gets seen by all users in Report Builder. The project DOORS Database - Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next Project that gets created in the data warehouse is fully public and any IBM Jazz® Team Server user can see all the data in any Report Builder reports, since there is no correlation between JTS users and DOORS users.

  2. Run the data collection jobs (step 9).
    The Requirement Management job handles both DOORS and IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next data.

  3. After the data collection jobs complete, manually refresh the type system model for the data warehouse data source:
    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 Data Warehouse link.
    4. Click Refresh.

  4. Start building a data warehouse report.
  5. When you build the report, limit the scope to DOORS Database - RM Project.
  6. Select the Requirement artifact type.

  7. When you are satisfied with the format of your report, run the report.
