Opening a DOORS module results in error "no access to read attribute 'attributename'"

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to open a module in IBM Rational DOORS results in the error "-R-W- DXL: no access to read attribute 'Absolute Number'".

Symptom

Opening a Rational DOORS module while the module is configured for Change integration results in the error:

No access to read attribute '<attributename>'

Cause

You have a Formal Module configured for a DOORS-Change interface. The reason this error occurs is because you do not have appropriate access permission to the attribute listed in the error message.

Environment


Resolving The Problem

The following options will help to resolve the issue:

  • Confirm you have appropriate access permission to an attribute mentioned in the error message

  • Check if module has deleted section/objects

    Note: Your permission may have carried over to deleted object(s) even after resetting the access permission to an attribute
    1. Click View > Show > Deletions to view the deleted objects

    2. Reset attribute permissions to deleted objects

    3. Open a module
