Hi Everyone,

I am Getting Empty Spaces between Heading and Text from Rational Publishing Engine Generated Document.
This Spaces are observed when I have DOORS Next Generation and DOORS as Source Control for RPE.

The URL which I use for configuring Data Source for DNG in RPE is:
https://servername:port/rm/publish/resources?moduleURI=_<DNG Module ID>

I have also tried using the below URLs for configuring Data Sources for DNG,which have reduced the Empty spaces but they result in loss of Images in the Document:

https://servername:port/rm/publish/resources?resourceURI=_<DNG Module ID>
https://servername:port/rm/publish/modules?resourceURI=_<DNG Module ID>

Further to this please find the Environment Details below:
RPE Version: 1.3
DOORS Next Generation: 5.0.2
OS: Windows 7

Please suggest solution for the issue.

Thanks in Advance,
Shamrose

Hello Shamrose,

What do you mean by 'empty spaces'?  Are they empty or blank lines?

Is this a custom template you are using?

An empty line can be produced when you have a paragraph element in your template without any contents or the contents are blank.

Could this be what you are seeing?

Gerard Cregan.

 Hi Gerard, By Empty Spaces, I mean there are some Empty Lines in the Document in Between Heading and Text. I have designed a RPE Template to suit my Output Document format with DOORS next Generation as Source Control. I had a Paragraph Element in the Template with Provision for Image which was creating the extra Empty lines in the Document. Later I have kept this Paragraph inside a Container and made some changes in the Template now its working as expected. Thanks & Regards, Shamrose

Can you try https://server:port/rm/publish/modules?resourceURI=uuid instead of https://server:port/rm/publish/resources?moduleURI=uuid? Also check the template for additional paragraph elements without any data within them.

 Hi Prasad, I have tried using the URL https://server:port/rm/publish/modules?resourceURI=uuid this URL does remove those Extra lines but also removes the Images that I have in my DOORS Next Generation Module. As mentioned in my Comment above I was able to Overcome this Issue by adding a Container for the Paragraph and making some modifications in my Template. I have used  https://server:port/rm/publish/resources?moduleURI=uuid as Data Source URL for Generating the Document. Thanks & Regards, Shamrose
