How to find and export a DOORS identifier value?

Question

I found a script to export to LaTeX , but at least with the installation of the module and DOORS in my company (DOORS9.6 via a remote server) I get an error message when I try to execute. Error occurs on line

// ------------------- Handle Requirements objects Text ----------- puid = obj."IE PUID" 

Error message

-RE- DXL: Unknown Object Attribute (IE PUID)

If I comment on this line, the script runs without error and exports the original LaTeX file. The problem, of course, is that I need the text of each DOORS ID object, known as the "Object Identifier". Is there an alternative way to get the information, or is there another attribute name that I could use? (I do not have a reference document with any id marks).

Answer 1

The question is which attribute you need to export.

the found script will export all the objects and attributes of the current view to latex, but it will be adopted in accordance with the needs of the author of the script, for example. "IE PUID" is not a standard attribute of DOORS. Thus, you will need to make some changes until the script provides the desired result.

As with an identifier, the usual way to access DOORS objects is to use the Absolute Number attribute, which is unique for each object in the module. You might want to use this attribute as an identifier, but maybe you have a different type of ID in your module - I suggest opening the module you want to export and see the details (properties) of one object (right mouse button). When you look at attributes, you should find which attribute is the best "identifier" for you.

Another line that you probably need to change is "if (! Main (col) && search (regexp" (P | p) (U | u) (I | i) (D | d) ", var_name, 0) == false) ". This row ensures that only columns that do not contain puid or PUID are exported, probably to avoid double-displaying the identifier. Take this also to your needs.

Hope this helps
