Rational provides Collaborative Lifecycle Management through its Jazz-based framework RTC, RQM, and DOORS NG is the ideal solution to migrate improve and optimize your quality management.t

For customers interested in taking advantage of the IBM Jazz Platform Softacus provides services to migrate from HP to IBM Jazz CLM.
Hewlett Packard's Quality Center is a platform for managing a quality management infrastructure providing support for defects, requirements, tests, and business components.

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.

Pricing

This add-on is free of charge for customers who purchased the IBM Jazz solution via Softacus.
