DOORS-Change integration: Unable to identify DOORS Change Actions values ..

Troubleshooting


Problem

In the integration between IBM Rational Change and IBM Rational DOORS, selecting a DOORS ID link in an RCR will return the error: Unable to identify Change Actions values object using query: cvid='<5-digit cvid>'

Symptom

Open an RCR that has at least one associated DOORS requirements change

Cause

The DOORS-Change integration does not support relative links. Absolute links must be used.

Diagnosing The Problem

Open an RCR that has at last one associated DOORS requirements change.

Double-click one of the DOORS ID links under Associated Requirements Change(s).

An error message appears:

"TelelogicECPSActiveXControl

Unable to identify DOORS Change Actions values object using query: cvid='<5-digit cvid>'"

Click OK and a Requirements Change Details window will appear.

Instead of a correct DOORS URL only "DOORS URL Value" will be displayed.

The link leads nowhere.

Check this file:

$CHANGE_HOME/5.2/jetty/webapps/change/WEB-INF/wsconfig/pt.cfg

look for this line:

[CCM_SYSTEM][GENERATED_LINKS]<value>[/GENERATED_LINKS][/CCM_SYSTEM]

if the value is "relative" then edit this as explained below.

Resolving The Problem

Edit this file:

$CHANGE_HOME/5.2/jetty/webapps/change/WEB-INF/wsconfig/pt.cfg

Change the line


    [CCM_SYSTEM][GENERATED_LINKS]relative[/GENERATED_LINKS][/CCM_SYSTEM]

to:

    [CCM_SYSTEM][GENERATED_LINKS]absolute[/GENERATED_LINKS][/CCM_SYSTEM]

save the file and restart the Change service/process.
