Creating a Change Proposal System in IBM Rational DOORS

Answer

To create a change proposal system:

Note: When you create a Change Proposal System (CPS), you automatically become a change proposal manager for it.

1. Log on to Rational DOORS as a Database Manager or a Custom user who has the power to create users. Note: The DOORS Administrator user cannot create a CPS.
2. In the database explorer, select the project you want to create a CPS for. You must have full access (RMCDA) to the project.
3. Click Tools -> Change Proposal System -> Setup -> New. Rational DOORS creates a folder called Change Proposal System under the project. This is where all the information about the CPS is stored, including the Suggestions and Proposals modules. Note: Use the Change Proposal System in the standard way. Never edit these modules directly.
4. Rational DOORS gives users the option to configure the CPS immediately or later.
5. If you do not want to configure the CPS immediately, click No. Users will not be able to submit change proposals against the project until it has been configured.
6. Click Yes to configure the CPS. An empty Change Proposal System for <projectname> window is displayed.
