Stephen Lohning (2125) | asked Aug 20 '18, 7:37 a.m.

 Hi All,

I am looking to create thousands of link in DOORS NG version 6.05.
preferably I need them at the module level not at the base artifact level.
Any ideas

Use link by attribute from the view in which you have filtered all module artifacts

 Hi All,

I thought now that I have successful way doing this without OSLC which has a whole lots of access problems when it is someone else  server.
Yes link by attribute works but has a limitation the default string attribute support 1024 byte and the our typical DOORS id is 7 digits and I want to link into a module. So I end up with xxxxxxx.yyyyyyy, 16 characters 1024 / 16 = 64.
So I can do only 64 links, works well but still not very fast.
Creating a link by excel up load
create ms excel for up loading and modifying attributes add your destination in a column with the link type you want to create i.e Link:Link From (<)
Then fill it up {LINK id=279795.210794}
MS Excel  can take 32K character per cell , 32768 / 24 = 1365 links this seems to work on DOORS NG 6.05

I am assuming that you can write code VBA  or python or Java to do this.

Regards
Stephen
