Question
DOORS Source and target module names are too long
Answer
In a Link Module window of a DOORS 6 client, there are two places where source and target module names are displayed, namely - in the linkset selection box near the top of the window, - in the "Source" and "Target" display fields near the bottom of the window (when a linkset is selected). At both places the length of the display seems to be fixed. Is there any way the user can see the source and target module names if the complete path name (with project and folder names) is too long?
This was a known issue for DOORS 6.x and has been partially resolved in DOORS 7 by increasing the size of the drop-down box in the Link Module that displays the linksets. There is a workaround available. Please run the DXL Script "Linkset select" which is available from support. Run the DXL Script from within the Link Module (Tools/Edit DXL). This will generate a separate dialog box where you will be able to display the full path of the linkset. Please ensure you have a full backup of your DOORS data before running the script. Please note that this DXL Script is not officially supported by Telelogic Support. If you require assistance with DXL scripting, please contact Professional Services via your Account Manager.
