Hi All, We were so careless, that we did not define link modules, because we were creating modules every day during the project initialization and it was easier to use the default link module. Now we have 500 component requirement modules in the same directory and each takes 30-40 seconds to open because of the common linkset. (Advice to everyone: never ever commit the same mistake : ) ) Now I have to tidy the structure. I decided to group the modules by 10-20 and have one link module for each group. Is it the right strategy or it's better to have one link module for each? My main question: how can I move the linkset from one link module to an other? I found a Link Editor tool here: But I cannot download the zip file because of an error on the DeveloperWorks page. Mathias, can you re-attach it? Or do you know a better solution for my problem? Thank You! Gabor GaborMoizes - Wed Oct 09 09:32:57 EDT 2013 |
Re: Move linksets to an other link module If you have only one "DOORS Links" module, then move it where you want and rename it. But you will need to setup Link Set Pairings to make sure future links go in there. Are you SURE the load delay is because this module's link-set is in a link module with 500 other link sets? We have exactly one link-module for each kind of relationship and are seeing no special delay, the main link module has 1000 link sets. A slow open could easily be due to the default view with complicated Layouts or Attr-DXL showing. Try opening the Standard vlew with DXL:
A link-module for each formal is a disaster. - Louie IMO it is better for you to decide "kinds of relationship" allowed between objects in Real-World Terms, and THEN go about Linking them. So if a Component object can "Satisfy" an Element requirement then you would create some form of "Satisfy" link module and make sure those links are therein. |

Hi Louie, Let me show you my measurements why I came to the conclusion that the root cause is the link module which contains a lot of linksets: Module: 165 objects with OLE's, current.ver directory occupies 520 kilobytes on the disk.

Step 1: Original state Wow. Am looking at one Link Module right now with 500 link sets, and it opens in about 1 second. However, all the LinkSets have the same target. I wonder if this has to do with Module Properties. I notice that Module Properties load very fast for some modules, and extremely slowly for others. Not sure what to tell you about this, sorry. -Louie |

I would group my modules in folders and would have one link module for each group. I saw a Link Editor tool in an other topic, but the attachment is not working. I would give it a try.
I know an algorithm: Is it an easier way? Or is there already a tool for this? Regards: Gabor |

You may want to only delete the old link when you verify the new one actually exists. Or you could make sure there are two of each links, then simply delete the link set. -Louie |
