== Detailed Description ==
  *IBM Rational Doors is shipped with a proprietary database :-(.
  *I was told by experts "IBM Rational DOORS is like a spreadsheet with hyperlinks, plus the option for automated data analysis with reporting".
  *I was told that "IBM Rational DOORS is document-centric".
  *Projects - You may create projects.
    *It is useful to create a logical and useful structure of requirements in the form of folders, modules and relations. This is called a scheme. Create a abstract scheme which may be used and reused in several projects.
  *Modules.
    *Within the project, you may create modules ( formal modules, link modules, descriptive modules = links to external documents ). 
    *A module may be in a read-only, exclusive or shareable mode. 
    *You may have different views to a module (  standard, graphical, outline, explorer ).
  *Objects - Within a module, you may create objects. An object may have attributes ( boolean, integer, real, string, text ).
  *Links.
    *You may set links between formal objects to demonstrate dependancies between formal objects. By default, all links within a project are collected by DOORS in the module "DOORS Links". 
    *Additionally, you may create your own link modules.
    *Within each link module, the information is subdivided into linksets. So when you create a link between two objects within a link module, it is stored in a linkset. 
    *By creating a link between two objects, you have to define a mapping between the linked objects ( many-to-many, many-to-one, one-to-many, one-to-one ).
    *The relation of objects defined by links and stored in a linkset may be represented grapically by matrix display.
  *Baselines.
    *A Baseline is a safe state of a "good relation". It is not just a freezed state, which might be the snapshot of an "unhappy relation".
    *You may create "baselines" and may sign it with a digital signature. 
    *You may compare two baselines.
    *[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseline_%28configuration_management%29|EN.Wikipedia "Baseline (configuration management)"]].
  *You may do a "traceability analysis".
  *If you are in the module window, you may create use "filters" to manage the amount of informations displayed in the module window.
  *There are some software wizards ( project startup wizard, icon wizard, graph wizard, report wizard ).
  *You may have a list of "favourites" for quick access of favourite places within your structure of projects, modules and folders shown with the DOORS Explorer, like the bookmark list of an Internet browser.

== Installation of IBM Rational Doors Next Generation on Win8.1 Pro 32-bit ==
  -Download "agent.installer.win32.win32.x86.1.8.0.20140920_1503.zip", "JTS-CCM-QM-RM-repo-5.0.2.zip".
  -Select the installation packages:
    -Jazz Team Server.
      -5.02.
    -Requirements Managment.
      -5.02.
    -Trial keys for Collaborative Lifecycle Management Product.
      -5.02.
  -Execute the Windows start menu item "Start the Jazz Team Sever". 
    *As the Jazz server is not yet configured, indeed you start the Apache Tomcat server is at [[http://localhost:9080|http://localhost:9080]]. You must not do anything with Tomcat.
  -Express setup of the Jazz server.
    *[[https://localhost:9443/jts/setup|https://localhost:9443/jts/setup]] - User ID: "ADMIN", Password "ADMIN".
    *You have to install a URI ( e.g. [[https://node2:9443:/jts|https://node2:9443:/jts"]] ) and a user ( e.g. "node2" )
  -After server setup, you may enter the Jazz server administration.
    *[[https://localhost:9443/jts/admin|https://localhost:9443/jts/admin]].
    *At "Server / Licensing / Licensing Key Management", you may activate 60 days trial licenses.
    *If you create a user, there is just a profile item for a username ( e.g. "User ID" ), but no profile item for a password. Indeed, the default password is identical to the username. 
    *You have to connect a user to a license.
    *You may sent yourself a new password by E-Mail.
        *This requires hat there is a valid E-mail system is installed on the Jazz server, which is unusual for a Windows server.
      *If the E-Mail is sent by Internet, this requires additionally that the server runs on a "fully qualified hostname" as suggested by the installation help, but which is unusual for test / demo / education installations.
  -Access Rational DOORS Next Generation, after activation of a trial license: 
    *[[https://localhost:9443/rm/web|https://localhost:9443/rm/web]].
== Export a project from the server, for later reimport ==
  -Computer #1:
    -[[https://localhost:9443/rm/web|https://localhost:9443/rm/web]] - "All Projects".
    -Select a project. You are now in the "Project Dashboard" of the project area.
    -Execute the blue menu item "Administration / Manage Project Properties".
    -Select the card tab "Templates".
    -Select the button with the "pen" image at the left side of the table, of the project template you want to export.
    -Select "Download" option of this button and download the project contents as *.archive file ( e.g. "test.archive" ).
  -Computer #2:
    -[[https://localhost:9443/rm/web|https://localhost:9443/rm/web]] - "All Projects".
    -Go to a "Project Dashboard" of a project.
      *If there is no project yet, execute the blue menu item "Administration / Create Project Area" and create a project area. You are now in the "Project Dashboard" of the created project.
    -Execute the blue menu item "Administration / Manage Project Properties" .
    -Select the card tab "Templates".
    -Press the button "Upload Template". Now you have added another project template.
    -Execute the blue menu item "Administration / Create Project Area" and create a project area with the option "[x]Use a template to initially populate the project". Select the proper template you just uploaded.
