retagged Aug 03 '18, 4:32 p.m. by Ken Tessier (841●1●7) At our company, we have projects using RTC with traditional DOORS and with DOORS Next Generation. IBM provides an integration between RTC and traditional DOORS that serves as a requirements change control mechanism. You can use the plugin to set rules that say certain attributes on certain requirements cannot be changes without an RTC based change management process. This integration requires the use of DOORS 9.5 or greater.

This automated control of change is not yet available with DOORS NG, but it is in our roadmap.
You can find some plan items by searching for "change management" at https://jazz.net/jazz03/web/projects/Requirements Management Today you can use change requests in RTC to reflect approval of changes, but you need to then manually change an attribute on the relevant DOORS NG artifact(s) to reflect their approved state.

Hello Joe
When I looked into this, I came to the conclusion that this feature is NOT a DOORS Next Gen feature but rather a DOORS feature. DOORS Next Gen is meant as a complement to DOORS and not as a replacement.
See the following link: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/clmhelp/v4r0m6/topic/com.ibm.rational.rrm.help.doc/topics/c_differences_doors_dng.html
In the above link, it specifically calls out this mechanism as a feature of DOORS, not DOORS Next Gen.
However, when reading this document
Which IBM Rational requirements management tool is best for your teams? it does provide a comment regarding how one can do requirements change management to some degree. But, it does say there is a way to control the change process.
