Traceability Wizard - Depth 2

Hello everybody,

I have aproblem creating a Layout-DXL from a module connected over two link modules.

I have three Modules that are linked over two different link modules.
In Module 1 I want to create a DXL column using "Analysis > Wizard". But it doesn't work. I'm selecting Modul 3, all link modules, the correct attribute and depth 2.

But the column remains empty.

Anybody got an idea what I do wrong?

Thanks in advance.

Well your Module 1 does not have any direct links from Module 3 so there will not be any information to display.

You could try by choosing all modules, all link modules and in the step 4 select Display information only from selected modules and Multiple columns
then choose Next and choose Module 2, Next and choose Module 3.
In the resulting columns remove the column showing information from Module 2. The remaining column will show the information that has tracability between Module 1 and Module 3 via Module 2.
NOTE Only objects in 3 that have links from the object to an object in 2 that inturn is linked to an object in 1 will show anything.

Or if you want to be independent of the modules and want to follow links through the different link modules instead you could use this slightly modified layout dxl: 

// DXL generated by DOORS traceability wizard on 05 November 2009.
// Wizard version 2.0, DOORS version 9.2.0.1
pragma runLim, 0
string lm[2] = {"4714938f437c34a5-00001821", "4714938f437c34a5-00001822"}
 
void showIn(Object o, int depth) {
    Link l
    LinkRef lr
    ModName_ otherMod = null
    Module linkMod = null
    ModuleVersion otherVersion = null
    Object othero
    string disp = null
    string s = null
    string plain, plainDisp
    int plainTextLen
    int count
    bool doneOne = false
    
    Item linkModItem = itemFromID(lm[depth - 1])
    if (null linkModItem) {
        displayRich("\\pard " "<<Link module not found>>")
    } else if (type(linkModItem) != "Link") {
        displayRich("\\pard " "<<Invalid link module index for this database>>")
    } else {
        string linkModName = fullName(linkModItem)
        for lr in all(o<-linkModName) do {
            otherMod = module (sourceVersion lr)
            if (!null otherMod) {
                if ((!isDeleted otherMod) && (null data(sourceVersion lr))) {
                    load((sourceVersion lr),false)
                }
            }
        }
        for l in all(o<-linkModName) do {
            otherVersion = sourceVersion l
            otherMod = module(otherVersion)
            if (null otherMod || isDeleted otherMod) continue
            othero = source l
            if (null othero) {
                load(otherVersion,false)
            }
            othero = source l
            if (null othero) continue
            if (isDeleted othero) continue
            if (depth < 2) {
                showIn(othero, depth+1)
            }
            doneOne = true
            if (depth == 2) {
                s = probeRichAttr_(othero,"Object Text", false)
                if (s == "") 
                displayRich("\\pard " " ")
                else
                displayRich("\\pard " s)
            }
        }
    }
}
showIn(obj,1)


changing the id's of the link modules in the line 

string lm[2] = {"4714938f437c34a5-00001821", "4714938f437c34a5-00001822"}

to your link modules id's.

I'm having a similar issue, except in the opposite direction.

Module 1 outlinks to Object A in Module 2 through Linkset 1.
Module 2 outlinks to Objects B - Z in Modules 3 - 99 through Linkset 2.

In Module 1, I want to display the name information of Modules 3 - 99 (those modules that start links in Objects B - Z in Module 2 and end in objects in Modules 3 -99).

I hope that explanation makes sense, I'm a little tripped up trying to describe the desired outcome. I've been trying to alter the code below but I'm hitting a wall. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!
Sam

I think you are saying you want the objects in M1 to simply list the Names of the modules 2 links away, using those link-modules. e.g. "Mod3, Mod22, Mod99". You don't want any object information?
  

Skip skpNames = createString() // KEY and DATA both 'string' base-name of linked module.
bla bla bla wizard code
   if (depth == 2) then put(skpNames, NameOtherModule, NameOtherModule)
   // don't display anything here.
bla bla bla
//  Output:
Buffer bufResults = create()
for NameOther in skpNames do
{  if (length(bufResults) > 0) then bufResults += ", "
   bufResults += NameOther
}
string Results = stringOf(bufResults)
delete(bufResults)
delete(skpNames)
display Results??


If you want to display object info, then the Skip should retain linked objects, and the results section query the info from them
