CLM Link Type filters are not available in DNG projects that are Configuration Management enabled

Troubleshooting


Problem

Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) link types filters like 'Validated By,' 'Implemented By,' 'Tracked By' and 'Affected By' are not available in IBM Rational DOORS Next Generation (RDNG) projects that are Configuration Management enabled.

Symptom

When you try to add a link filter, 'Validated By,' 'Implemented By,' 'Tracked By' and 'Affected By' link types are not available to select.

Cause

CLM link filters are not supported in Configuration Management enabled projects.

Environment

Configuration Management enabled projects.

Resolving The Problem

The filters for CLM link types are not supported in CM enabled projects because once CM is enabled, there is a change to storage of the links. In CM enabled projects the CLM links are stored in LDX instead of the applications (CCM, QM and RM). RDNG does not persist the CLM link in its storage and for that reason it can not filter on them.

For more information, see work item:


Defect 111772: CLM link types ('Validated By' , " Implemented By " ..) Link Type is not available to choose for Link type when applying filter.


In DNG, there is the ability to filter by "Limit by lifecycle status" was introduced in version 6.0.2 which allows filtering capability for CCM and QM relationships.
