Main Functionalities
- Ability to migrate big amount of modules from DOORS to DNG
- Possibility to transform the data according to specific user needs (split, merge modules)
- Transformation of attributes
- Transformation in GCM context; view to stream, split across components
- Ability to migrate history and baselines
DOORS Tables
Our application has the ability to transform DOORS Tables into DNG HTML Tables within the DNG Artifact.
Also, we support the ability to transform OLE excel tables into DNG artifact HTML tables.
Migration of History data
Ability to save DOORS object history and import it into either an attribute or initial content of a "primary text" attribute.
Possibility to make a link back to original object in case of migration without the history (recommended option).
(Currently in development) Import from specific DOORS baseline.
High Automation Level
The tool have API in order to create automation for:
- Artifact creation and mapping
- Attribute creation and mapping
- Link Type creation
- Project area & component creation
- GCM creation
- Creation of views, folders, streams and baselines
- Create User in Jazz
- Automated assignment of Group to the User
Conversions
- Rich text into attributes
- DXL Layouts into string attributes
- Ability to convert attributes into embedded artifacts (i.e. for parametrization)
- Transformations of pictures. We support png, jpeg, jpg. Due to DNG limitations, .wmf and .svg are not supported
Links
- Recreation of links within the project area
- Recreation of links within the component
- Recreation of links across project areas
- Recreation of links across components with GC context
Splitting of Data
- Split to several components
- Split to project areas
- Split to several servers
- Split of data by view to several streams
- Stream Updates
Profiles per Each project
The solution have customizable possibilities (currently via YAML file) to set up a profile for migration of each project
Migration of Views
The solution supports migration of view (beta)
Some views are non-compatible in DNG, and we tag them
Lightning Speed
We have developed a concept how to avoid thousands/millions of calls to DNG
Example 10 000 artifacts 150 seconds
Statistics
- PA Size
- Modules size
- Number of attributes
- Number of artifacts
Validator
- checks count and data
- count object types attribute types
- views
- links
Mapping
- Object view to component stream
- Attribute harmonization
- Possible automated cleanup of the data
- Mapping of custom object types to artifact types
- Storage of mapping per each execution
- Sandboxing -migrate test and improve
OLE Object Handling
- Migration of OLE from attribute into primary text (merge) or as linked artifact (link to base artifact)
- Ability to migrate pictures as embedded or standalone artifacts. Linking of embedded pictures to its artifacts (as base artifact link)
Notifications
Error handling prior and after the migration
Test Management
(Planned) Test on each object with proof that the artifact was migrated from DOORS to DNG properly
Other Advanges
- Keep reference to DOORs classic
- 60 widgets available from Softacus for DNG with mainly common architecture. Widget are resolving several gaps and increase user experience in DNG
- Support for Tags,
- Handling of huge project data
- Own migration server and infrastructure for Migration
- Unicode special symbols handling
- Nested symbols handling
- Incompatibility checks
- Attributes merging
- We can recreate DXL scripts in Js Java and Python or other language if required
Technical Information
- Concurrent loading from DOORS to DNG
- Usage of internal DB during Migration, which allows flexible linking after the migration of the data
- Possibility to resume of the migration process in case of a disruption
Flexible for any customer use case
All migrations are different. We have built this solution, because the traditional ways of migrating were not sufficient for our and our customer needs.
This video show first release of the solution.
Development of specific APIs
The tool is able to to custom migration due to the fact that we have created our own APIs.
This extension will create links between artifacts in the selected module(s). The information about the generated links is taken from certain custom attributes. It can build many links in a short time
Import Repair is DNG out-of-the-box extension provided by IBM which can help you to create a module hierarchy with a one-click operation
This article aims to help you with enabling and uploading the widget extensions in Engineering Requirements Management DOORS Next.
Widget Extensions
This extension allows users to generate, set, and structure artifacts in the module based on the specified rules.
Explanation and features
Features:
- Allows the user to add all types of artifacts into the module
- Allows the user to choose module structure according to Number and PUID attributes
- Users can add anytime and easily RPE Tags
Restrictions
- Requires to be executed in the module. If a user tries to start the script outside of the module it will not work and the message will be displayed advising the user to work from the module.
How to use this extension
- Open a Module
- Type PUIDs of desired artifacts
- Add different types of RPE tags according to user needs
- Click the button Generate document to generate the structure of artifacts in the module
- Artifact structure is successfully generated.

This extension allows users to create a collection of artifacts in the Module. You can specify the folder where you want your Collection created. The selection of artifacts and creation of Collections is possible in Module only
The script is finding strings in the primary text of the module artifacts and replaces them either with pictures or with the artifacts of your choice
The tables that can hold module release, status history, author, date, comment, and other relevant information are not migrated properly into DNG. Each entry will become an artifact and on top of the number of unwanted artifacts will be increased by 10-40%. Our script helps to solve it.
Explanation and features
Script-based on DXL turns the table to an HTML and then after migration, a javascript turns the HTML into a nice table which is only 1 artifact.

The number of objects to be migrated from DOORS to DOORS NG plays a role, therefore it is wise to reduce the number of objects in the modules to the minimum. Many times users create in DOORS new objects even though it was not needed. For example, when doing bullet points or just by hitting Ctrl+Enter.
Explanation and features
Objects merge script
By running this script, when can these objects be merged together into one object? The script merges objects only when:
- The object is not heading
- The object does not have any link
- Object have other object entries on the same level of the depth
From experience, this script helps to reduce the number of objects to be migrated up to 35%.
Split DOORS Module horizontally
The script has been developed for customers with very big modules where each section of the big DOORS Module shall become a new Module on its own. The links are preserved.
Split DOORS Module vertically
DNG currently does not support the rich text attributes column. Therefore, DOORS customers who have to preserve bullet points, strike through text, pictures, and colors have the possibility to split the module vertically and link each line. This will generate 2 modules that are migrated to DOORS NG and can be reviewed side by side.

Rational DOORS Next Generation application, which is delivered in Jazz CLM tools by IBM, supports extending its base features by specially developed programming units conformed to OpenSocial specification. FMEA extension developed by Softacus AG can give you important capabilities if you work with Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA). A successful FMEA activity helps identify potential failure modes based on experience with similar products and processes.
User interface
Explanation and features
The main features of the FMEA extension are:
- Calculating Risikozahl Type based on such input data as the extent of damage, length of stay in the danger zone, probability of occurrence, and the possibility of avoiding the danger.
- Painting colors based on calculated values in accordance with the next scale:
- Supported work in modules
Limitations:
- Works in Module
- The cells are colored after 0.5 seconds delay due to technical reasons of Jazz. The color will not appear if your jazz is slow. We can fix it by increasing 0.5 seconds to 5 seconds.
Know Problems:
If an artifact in DNG Module is selected the color will now be showing. The reason for that is that IBM implemented rosa color for highlighted requirements. As soon as you deselect the requirement desired color appears. Reload will also make the color appear.
The gadget must be open at least once after the user started his Web browser's session.
