Error description
DOORS 9.2.0.2 doesn't retain values for attributes of Type 'User name' when configured with RDS 5.1 Sample steps to reproduce: --------------------------------- 1.? Configure a DOORS 9.2.0.2 Database with RDS 5.1 using any su pported LDAP as the Corporate LDAP. 2.? Create a new Module in DOORS and create a new attribute of t ype 'Username' 3.? Select any Object in the Module - right click Properties - A ttributes - select the newly created attribute (which is of Type : Username) 4.? Enter any valid username as the value for this attribute. Th e error message 'The value you have entered is invalid. You shou ld be entering a Username' is displayed. 5.? Exit out of the error message - Click on Manage Users ? Grou ps - enter '*' wildcard and hit Refresh. All the users are displ ayed. Close the window. 6.? Redo steps 1 to 4 and now it takes the value correctly. Howe ver, if we then exit the session of DOORS and relogin, the value for the Attribute has been lost. Workaround: ---------------- -- Modify the shortcut that users use to launch DOORS to include -dxl command-line switch with the value 'updateUserList()'. To do this, follow the steps below: 1.? Right click on the DOORS Icon. 2.? Go to Properties 3.? Under the 'Shortcut' tab, modify the value of 'Target' fiel d by appending { -dxl 'updateUserList'} (without the enclosing flower brackets). With the default installation location, the value of Target shou ld appear as follows: 'C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2\bin\doors.exe' -dxl 'updateUserList'
