Getting the DOORS client version number from the reporting API with Rational Publishing Engine

Question & Answer


Question

Can you get the DOORS client version number from the reporting API with Rational Publishing Engine (RPE) ?

Cause

When you are developing reports in an environment where multiple versions of DOORS client are being used it can help to know what client version was being used.

Answer

No. The DOORS API Does not provide this information.

WORKAROUND:

You could use a two step work around.

  1. Create environment variable using DOORS DXL which contains the client version number.
    For example:

    print doorsVersion
    setenv ("MyDOORSVersion",doorsVersion)


  2. Use your RPE template to read the environment variable.
    See the example template attached.
