Setup for Sharing with DXL

In a module, is it possible to configure the "Setup for Sharing..." (Tools | Setup for Sharing... | Make editable sections at level: 4 | OK) with DXL code?

On your computer, you could replace ...
This File:

C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2\lib\dxl\standard\tools\sharing.dxl

with a file that does what you want; no doubt after renaming the existing file to perhaps 'sharing_Original.dxl'.

I dislike making that kind of change; just write your own and put it in the User menu.

I am using DOORS 8.3 and would prefer not to use premade scripts. I've consulted the dxl manual and have not found anything related to this. Any other suggestions?

There are probably just 3 options for sharing:

//1. Use the canned dxl provided with DOORS.
//2. Use a custom dxl.
//3. Throught the GUI change the permissions on the object to implement sharing (Possible but probably not practical.)

I realize that. Would you happen to know the dxl for option #2 you specified?

Attached is a script from the old forum. It displays a dialogue box where you can tick and untick individual sections to create and remove shareable edit. For sections at level 4 you select "Level: 4" in the drop-down list, then click "Check All" and then "Create sections". Note that this also creates sections at the levels above, which is necessary if you want to create new sections at Level 4 or above.

The DXL behind is simple, the two perms "specific(Object obj)" and "inherited(Object obj)" create and remove shareable sections.

Peter

it is as simple as that:

argh ... don't press "tab" and then "space" when you edit your post and type in code :-)

Object obj
for obj in entire current module do {
    if (level obj == 4) specific obj else inherited obj
}

or something like that.

You probably want all the level 1/2/3/4 HEADINGS to be objects. You must exclude Table/Row/Cell objects.

Hey Louie!

Can I so kindly bring this post back from the grave?

I follow the simple script from above, but in regards to your comment about Table/Row/Cell objects, you lost me.

are you saying as a personal preference that you wouldn't want to include table cells in this shareable access option?

or is that more of a statement on how you would want to setup your module before running this script?

I ran it and it seemed to do the trick, but my modules have thousands upon thousands of objects and tables, and just want to know if I need to append this script with something, or if this script does the same as the Tools>Setup for Sharing button and selecting (in this case) level 4.

Best Regards
