DOORS module fails to open in exclusive edit mode results in error "unable to open module ...no such file or directory"

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to open a module exclusive edit in IBM Rational DOORS result in the error "DOORS report Unable to open module '/A Project/Requirements' No such file or directory".

Symptom

A module with a large number of sections is used mostly in shareable edit mode.

You can open the module Read-only , or Shareable-Edit; but not in exclusive edit.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Login to DOORS
     
  2. Click the Project, or folder, icon that contains the module
     
  3. Click the module icon in the DOORS Explorer window
     
  4. Click File > Open> Exclusive Edit (Ctrl + E)

Expected result: The module should open in Exclusive edit mode.

Actual result: The module will not open in exclusive edit module; however it will open in read only mode, or shareable edit mode. If you attempt to check the database integrity for issue the module is not flagged for any problems.

The full error message is as follows:

DOORS report
Unable to open module '/A Project/Requirements' No such file or directory"
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.5\data\v6data\20\m00000021.mod\current.ver\s1000005.dtc
