Updated: Q&As are moving!

(Updated November 29, 2019)
This forum has been locked  in preparation for the migration to the IBM Support Forums.  New questions can be posted to the new forum as noted below.  Expect to see all migrated content in the new forum the beginning of January 2020.

 

(Updated November 4, 2019)
This forum will be locked over the coming weeks in preparation for the move to our IBM Support Forums. All questions from this forum will be included in the move. Once the lock is in place, the move may take 5-10 days to complete the migration of all content.  Every question that is moved will be associated with the "ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT DOORS" product tag in the new forum.

 

Moving forward, you can post new questions to the IBM Support Forums using the "ENGINEERING REQUIREMENTS MANAGEMENT DOORS" product tag.  There are many enhancements coming that will help to improve your forum experience.

 

 

(Updated Oct 18, 2019)
Questions from this forum are being migrated to the IBM Support forums.


What's changing?
Many of our IBM Support business areas are consolidating their participation in the various existing forums into a single platform in the IBM Support forums. See our IBM Support Forum announcement located here: http://ibm.biz/new-forum-experience
 
What to expect
In the coming weeks, we will migrate all content from this forum to the IBM Support forums

 

During the migration

 

When the migration is started, this forum will be locked. We will pin an announcement to the top of the forum to remind you that the content is being transferred to the new location. The migration is expected to take approximately 1 week to complete.  

  • New questions can be submitted in the new IBM Support forums location.
  • Existing questions in this forum will be read only. Any active questions can be addressed in the new forum.

 

After the migration

 

Once the migration is complete, you will find your questions in the new IBM Support forums space on IBM.com.   

  • All migrated questions will retain the original authors name.
  • Looking for a specific post? Once the migration is complete, if you are not automatically redirected, you can find the new location of the question you are looking for in our new forum located here: https://www.ibm.com/mysupport/s/forumshome
  • Looking for a specific tag? Search for the same tags you used in this forum OR choose your product to find the Question you're looking for in the new forum.

 

Keep an eye on the IBM Support Insider blog as we continue to evolve your forums experience in the new location.

I will keep an open mind on this but I am not crazy about this move.  Many post older than 18 mos and maybe not very popular are still very valuable to this community.  In addition, the ability to search a specialized DXL forum for DXL code always results in applicable posts.  I have never had such luck with the IBM Support site, resulting in my giving up.  What precautions are being made to make the search for dxl code to actually result in dxl posts?  Are we going to lose all other post that don't meet the popularity contest rules?

I just got a small insight in the posts you migrated,

https://stg-ibmsf.cs90.force.com/mysupport/s/question/0D71F000000Eg14/how-to-set-value-of-a-modulelevel-attribute

It seems that you have the same problem as after the last forum migration. Especially that DXL code is not tagged as code.

The code 

string attr = "Contract Number"
string content = "12345-a"

m.attr = content

becomes a single garbaged line:

string attr = "Contract Number"string content = "12345-a"m.attr = content

 

That means that all code examples collected over the last 15 years or so will become useless.

Please, please, please improve your migration script!!!!!!

 

Edit: oh, it is way worse: When you post something at mysupport, it is not even possible to tag anything as formatted code.
How do you think a forum for DXL CODE(!) can exist if you cannot even post code?

Hi Sara,  Thanks for your feedback. Our teams are reviewing the migration data to identify additional high value content to include in a subsequent migration update. In regards to the code, there are improvements to inline code coming that will include the ability to search in the new forum experience.

Hi Mike, Migrations are in process and should not be an issue once completed.

Hi Mike, There are improvement to inline code coming in the new forum experience.
