RptgenRMI.doorsAttribs

IBM DOORS attributes in requirements report

Description

example

settings = RptgenRMI.doorsAttribs('show') returns the DOORS® attribute report settings. The listed attributes are included in generated requirements reports.

example

tf = RptgenRMI.doorsAttribs('default') restores the default requirements report settings for DOORS attributes. The function returns 1 if the settings are changed. The default settings are:

  • Explicitly include the system attributes Object Heading and Object Text

  • Include all other system attributes and user-defined attributes

  • Omit the system attribute Created Thru

  • Omit system attributes with empty string values

  • Omit system attributes that are false

example

tf = RptgenRMI.doorsAttribs(Name,Value) specifies which DOORS attributes to include in generated requirements reports. The function returns 1 if the settings are changed without error.

Note

This function sets settings used when generating reports for requirements in IBM® DOORS. These settings are not applied for generated reports for requirements in IBM DOORS Next.

Examples

settings = RptgenRMI.doorsAttribs('show')
settings = 5x1 cell
    {'Object Heading' }
    {'Object Text'    }
    {'$AllAttributes$'}
    {'$NonEmpty$'     }
    {'-Created Thru'  }

If you change the settings for which DOORS attributes to include in the requirements report, you can restore the default settings.

Change the settings by omitting all attributes other than those that are explicitly included in the report. Show the changed settings.

tf = RptgenRMI.doorsAttribs('type','none');

Restore the settings to default. Show the default settings.
