MDG Link for DOORS  - 2.2
« on: May 20, 2015, 05:28:57 am »
Has anyone used this MDG to connect to a DOORS Next Generation (DNG) repository?

DOORS NG is not supported.  As far as I am aware it no longer provides the COM/ActiveX interface that MDG Link for DOORS requires.
 
Of possible interest however, it does appear that DOORS NG supports an interface with OSLC.  Support for requirements management via OSLC was introduced in Enterprise Architect 11 via the Cloud Services feature.  See:
http://www.sparxsystems.com/enterprise_architect_user_guide/12.0/projects_and_teams/oslc_requirements_management.html
 
The Cloud Service currently only functions as a Provider, giving access to the requirements in the hosted EA models via OSLC.  EA itself doesn't currently support connection to an external OSLC service as a Consumer.  So in theory, it may be possible for EA to export requirements to DOORS NG via OSLC, but it would not be possible for EA to import from DOORS NG via OSLC at this time.
