Filtering and gathering results from accepted/rejects varaibles.

Hello,

I am trying to gather metric from our database and I have create a filter and would like to gather the result from the entire database. Is there a way of gather this information from current view or do I need to create the filter in DXL? If this is the case I have a question with creating a complex filters in DXL. Below is the filter I created in DOORS the only thing is, how would you I go about creating it in DXl mannly the "is empty" and "is not empty" functionality?

Thank you,
Jim
 

(((((((((_NC+ Req is empty) OR (_NC Req is empty)) OR (_Level 2 Req is empty)) OR (_Criticality is empty)) OR (_1E Req is empty)) OR (_Req Type is empty)) AND (_Req Eval == R - Requirement)) 
OR (((((((_Req Type is not empty) OR (_NC+ Req is not empty)) OR (_NC Req is not empty)) OR (_Criticality is not empty)) OR (_Level 2 Req is not empty)) OR (_1E Req is not empty)) AND 
(_Req Eval is empty))) OR (((((((_Req Type is not empty) OR (_NC+ Req is not empty)) OR (_NC Req is not empty)) OR (_Criticality is not empty)) OR (_Level 2 Req is not empty)) OR 
(_1E Req is not empty)) AND (_Req Eval != R - Requirement))) OR ((_Req Type is empty) 
AND (_Req Eval == R - Requirement))

I don't think I've every deployed any sort of 'Filter' from DXL. For metrics, it doesn't seem reasonable to be creating
a bunch of filters anyway. All my metrics script just open the module, go through the objects and determine if the object
qualifies or not, incrementing a counter.

I'm trying to make sense of your filter and I think I get it. Let me scribble:

int  CountModule(Module mod)
{  // Count how many objects have attributes indicating XYZ
   bool ReqShould  // Object has values indicating is 'should' be a requirement
   bool ReqIs      // Object is marked as being a requirement
   int  CountNeedBe = 0 // How many objects 'should' be requirements but are not
   int  CountNotBe  = 0 // How many objects are marked as requirement, but should not be
 
   for obj in entire(mod) do
   {  if (isDeleted(obj))   continue
      ReqShould = any of those obj.attr values are not null
      ReqIs     = obj."_Req Eval" "" == "R - Requirement"
      if ( ReqShould and !ReqIs) CountNeedBe++
      if (!ReqShould and  ReqIs) CountNotBe++
   }  // end objects in the module
}  // end CountModule()

Having said that, perhaps you WANT filters in the module that show these values.
Even so, having your metrics script open each module visibly, loading a view, and counting displayed
objects is quite ineffective, and doesn't work in nightly batch-mode.
