DOORS how to purge deleted module baselines
I am using DOORS 9.6.1.6.
One user created a module baseline and named it incorrectly.
He has since deleted it but wants it gone from sight.
He can still see this deleted baseline in
menu File > Baseline > New...
menu File > Baseline > View...
menu File > Baseline > Copy...
menu File > Baseline > Delete...
Is there a way to purge deleted baselines?
Accepted answer
There is no way to do this with GUI.
However, there is an unsupported way to hide this baseline.
You have to do this from the DOORS server host.
1) [DOORS client] right mouse click on the module and select properties
2) [DOORS client] In the General tab, note down the URL of the module
for example, doors://doors_svr:36677/?version=2&prodID=0&urn=urn:telelogic::1-55e5295b3efe7ac6-M-000006a0
3) [DOORS server] locate the data folder
for example,
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Rational\DOORS_svr\9.5\data\v6data
4) [DOORS server] locate the subdirectory that ends with the last 3 characters of the module URL
for example, doors://doors_svr:36677/?version=2&prodID=0&urn=urn:telelogic::1-55e5295b3efe7ac6-M-000006a0 ends with 6a0,
so we want to find a subdirectory ending with 6a0.mod
that is,
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\Rational\DOORS_svr\9.5\data\v6data\a0\00\m000006a0.mod
5) [DOORS server] go into that directory with Windows administrator privilege
6) [DOORS server] back up and then modify baseline.ixc, remove the deleted baseline info and save it
7) [DOORS server] restart "DOORS DB Server 9.x" service in Windows services
