How can I find all requirements inside a module that have a reference to a different requirement (in another module) where the validity is "suspect"?
Hi everyone,
we are using DOORS Next 7.0.3 and I want to use the link validity feature.
We have several requirements that have a reference to the requirements of a different team - and I'd like to know if the referenced requirements change (so that I can check whether everything still fits together).
At the moment we have nearly 1300 requirements that will sooner or later have one or more references so I'd like to find something else than "going through the list and checking the icons" - but I can't find a way to get an answer to the question "which requirements have at least one reference that is NOT VALID?"
How could I solve my problem without manually checking each requirement?
edit: we are now using 7.0.3 instead of 7.0.2
One answer
You can see and filter link validity in Report Builder and Engineering Insights (RELM) views from LQE.
FYI for report builder "Suspect" is the same as there not being any validity status - you can choose this on the relationship
If checking links with suspect validity is an ongoing need for your work, you could embed one or more report builder reports on them into your dashboard, so the results are easily available when you need them. See https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/engineering-lifecycle-management-suite/lifecycle-management/7.1?topic=builder-adding-report-reports-dashboards

Hi Ian, thanks for your post!
Unfortunately, I am not very successful in replicating what is shown in the docs. I do not have the "Link validity" dropdown in step 5 of "Choose data" (from your first link above):
It seems to me that Link Validity is active for my project area because I can see the "link suspect" icon next to all the links. Is that not a useful indication for whether the feature is enabled?
Thanks for your time
Is your project enabled for configuration management? And you're using the 'LQE with configurations' data source?
