DOORS Next Generation - Deliver Changes between streams with changes to Attribute_Data_Types
I am using DOORS NG 6.0.6
I am confused as to how delivering changes between two streams in DOORS NG works when there are changes to values in Attribute_Data_Types in both streams.
I have two streams (Stream A and Stream B) where Stream B was created from Stream A and an Attribute_Data_Type which has a number of Values
In Stream B I added some new values to that Attribute Data Type and set the attribute in an artifact to those new values.
In Steam A I renamed one of the values in the Attribute Data Type
There are also other changes within Stream A that I want to deliver to Stream B.
When I Deliver the changes from Stream A to Stream B, the Component Properties screen says
"ID CRRRW7803W Component properties were changed in both the source and target configurations. If you continue, changes to conflicting properties in the target configuration will be overwritten. Deliver the changes and then make your changes to the target configuration again. The following properties contain changes that will be overwritten in the target configuration: <my type>"
And the screen indicates that the new values added in Stream B will be deleted
There is no way to 'reject' the overwrite and keep the current values in Stream B (that I can see)
If I allow the changes in the target to be overwritten and then make the changes again then any usage of the new values is lost and any work will have to be redone (I do not want to have to reset 100s of attribute values)
Is there anyway to deliver the (at least the unrelated) changes from Stream A to Stream B without overwriting the changes that have already been made in Stream B?
One possibility is to redo any changes made in Stream B in Stream A then hopefully nothing would be removed, but I don't know if that would work,
One answer
Please look at https://jazz.net/library/article/92352 for our thoughts on how to do this.
