While the engineered systems are becoming more complex, engineering practices are somewhat left behind based on “document centric” non-digitized practices, where lifecycle activities and disciplines are data silos.
In this webinar we describe how a fully digitized systems engineering process enables the primary objectives of engineering projects: Increasing speed of delivery and innovation, ensuring quality, reducing costs, and demonstrating compliance. We will illustrate how the above foundations are leveraged throughout a systems engineering process, and includes in-process quality, stakeholders visibility and viewpoints for high velocity, full change control and audit trail for effective demonstration of compliance.
We will demonstrate how IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) establishes a holistic digital engineering process, from stakeholder requirements through implementation, based on the following foundations:
- Digital connectivity across all lifecycle artifacts to insure data consistency and traceability compliance
- Model based system design for early functional and architectural verification
- Agile enactment across the entire systems engineering process
- Cross lifecycle digital viewpoints and reporting for full visibility and decision support to all stakeholders
- Fostering reuse across projects and programs for highly effective engineering
IBM Engineering Lifecycle Management (ELM) is the leading platform for today’s complex product and software development. ELM extends the functionality of standard ALM tools, providing an integrated, end-to-end solution that offers full transparency and traceability across all engineering data. From requirements through testing and deployment, ELM optimizes collaboration and communication across all stakeholders, improving decision- making, productivity and overall product quality.

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

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

- 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

- 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.
In order that DNG traces all the changes in artifacts, which could be seen in the "Artifacts History" page. Softacus developed an extension that allows users to filter this history directly in a module without need of opening history separately in new window or tab.
User Interface
As you can see on the left, UI of this extensions is containing filters. You can filter by:
- Start Date - together with end date it specifies the date range of the changes that should be displayed
- End Date - together with start date it specifies the date range of the changes that should be displayed
- Users - you could choose from which user you want to show the changes
- Changeset - indicates what type of change you want to see. Changeset filter contains the following options:
- Delete
- Edit
- Create
Description
This extension provides DNG users with the ability to view changes made to the displayed module without the user having to leave the module they are working in and open the artifact history in a new window. The developed extension from Softacus allows users to quickly and time-savingly view the history of changes in the module in which they are currently located. The change report will be displayed directly in this extension of your mini dashboard. It contains information about the user who made the change, the exact date and time the artifact change was created, and the artifact ID. In the artifact change report, the changes are color coded just like in the DNG. In case the user does not choose any filter, this extension will show him all types of changes made by any user for 1 week (7 days), which is set as an auto filter. This extension also offers the possibility to filter changes based on your chosen criteria, which can be: the date interface, the user who made the change, or the type of change. Changes are displayed in the report in chronological order from the last change made. This extension displays changes not only in Primary text but also records the creation/change/deletion of links, comments, and other attributes.
Problem to solve
Tracking all changes in artifacts in DNG is currently time and labor-intensive. Currently, this is only possible via the "History of Artifacts" page. Softacus has developed an extension that allows users to filter this history directly in the module without opening the history separately in a new window or tab. The entire history of an open module can be viewed in a widget in your mini dashboard with a few clicks. In addition to a complete change history report, this script can be used to filter based on the date interface, the user who made the change, or the type of change.
Features
Report of changes
This extension to see and filter changes made across the module. Information about these changes will be displayed directly in the extension in your mini dashboard. In the displayed report you will find information: the user who made the change, the date and exact time the change was saved, and the ID of the changed artifact. Changes are arranged in the report in descending order based on the date (the last change in the module is displayed first). If a larger number of changes were created for the selected period, there are paginated by 20 items.
Filtering changes based on:
Start date and End date
This data determines the change display date interface. If the user does not choose his start date and end date, the extension will display changes for the last week (7 days).
Users
You can choose which user you want to see changes from. If the user does not select any user, the report will display the changes made to the module by any user.
Type of Change
Indicates what type of change you want to see. This filter contains the following options:
All (default) as is - filter from module history
Edit = UserXY modified resource
Create = UserXY modified module structure - added
Delete = UserXY modified module structure - removed
Color resolution
In the report, all changes made in the module are colored for easy orientation. The color difference of the changes is the same as DNG - yellow background color = "create"; blue background color = "edit"; gray background color + red text color = "delete".
Show details about the type of changes
Using the drop-down menu, the user can expand each change record either individually or in the header for all. After clicking on the link, the user will be redirected to the changeset, where there is a detailed record of the specific change.
Restrictions
- This extension works only in the module
