How to set the default link module in DOORS

Question & Answer


Question

How do you configure IBM Rational DOORS to use a default link module other than DOORS Links?

Cause

You have already created a linkset but when you attempt to create a link in DOORS a prompt displays the message "A linkset does not exist for this operation. Do you want to create one?"


By default DOORS will use a link module named " DOORS Links".

If you want to use a different default there is a setting in DOORS that allows you to define what default link module will be used.

Answer

Steps to set DOORS default link module:

  1. Log in as an admin type user

  2. Click Tools > Options

  3. Select the Settings tab



  4. Click Browse in the Miscellaneous section to choose the link module with the linkset



  5. Select the link module

  6. Click OK to close the Browse window

  7. Click Apply in the DOORS options window

  8. Click OK
