DOORS MDG

[jimbo]

Is there any word if there will be a DOORS Next Gen MDG Link? Or a OSLC MDG Link?

We would also like to see the current DOORS MDG support importing requirement to requirements links. Is Sparx working on this?

Anybody who knows if Sparx is working on a DOORS Next Gen MDG Link or OSLC MDG Link which makes it possible to import requirements from DOORS NG to Sparx EA?

Using V12.1... Something I'm not getting trying to read the posts is whether the MDG link connects directly to the DOORS server, or through a local DOORS client.  It seems that I only see reference to connecting to a DOORS "module".  And the instructions for using the MDG don't match with what the menus show: "Extensions | DOORS | Connect External Project", which I select and get a dialog that says,"Please Open DOORS Database".  Yet I remembered the MDG selection leading to a dialog to connect to a database.  I don't get that now. Does using the MDG require a local DOORS client to work?

Yes, MDG Link for DOORS requires the DOORS Client.  Information is pulled via the API of the DOORS Client, it does not connect directly to the DOORS database.  To connect your DOORS module from EA, you need to have the DOORS client open and connected to your database, and have the specific module open that you want to connect with.
