DSX files in your browser

The DSX Files is a utility for DOORS Next report developers who use IBM Engineering Publishing. You list and download DSX files in your browser, without SCP, SFTP, or manual file handling.

Key features

  • Direct access: list and download DSX files from the server in one step.
  • URI discovery: find the main URI with its viewcacheid for browser access or templates.
  • Fits your workflow: works with your current IBM Engineering Publishing process.

Requirements

  • IBM DOORS Next 7.0.2+ (latest iFix recommended).
  • Note: Not supported on 7.0 or 7.0.1 due to RRDG architectural changes.
  • Installed on the same instance as DOORS Next.

The DSX Files

The DSX Files works with DOORS Next to help Rational Engineering Insights – Publishing (aka Rational Publishing Engine) template authors develop templates to be used in the DOORS Next User Interface.

This application has the following features:

  • List DOORS Next generated DSX files located in the temporary directory
  • Download any DSX file located in the temporary directory
  • Quickly display and copy the temporary URI that includes the viewcacheID for a given DSX file in the temporary directory

The application has been developed and tested against WebSphere Liberty running on Linux. It should also work with full-fledged WebSphere Application Server as well as on Windows, but no testing of these configurations has been performed.
