IBM ERM DOORS baseline comparison does not show changes made to attributes

Question & Answer


Question

Is it possible to compare custom attributes that use IBM DOORS baseline comparison function?

Cause

Running the baseline comparison does not show the difference made to custom attributes.

Answer

No, the baseline comparison tool only display changes or modifications made to two attributes:
  • Object Heading
  • Object Text

Therefore, changes made to any other attributes do not display in the Baseline Comparison Results window. The comparison shows that changes are made to text in the main column, and objects are added or deleted. Changes to text in other columns are not displayed.
Alternatively, to compare the changes made to custom attributes, use the Module Comparison tool within the module Tools -> Compare Modules.
