OSLC

[jimbo]

Is anybody using OSLC? Is it working well? We want to connect to IBM DOORS.

Try a search for OSLC with the search button top left and extended to "all posts". There are a couple of threads.

There's nothing in EA to connect to an external source. The only OSLC functionality is for the cloud service providing an OSLC source.

What kind of connection do you want?
one direction?
both direction?
synchrone or not?

EA's OSLC functionality is pretty rudimentary. It only supports Requirements, which can be created and retrieved -- I'm not sure whether they can be updated as well.

Depending on how you want to interact with DOORS, the non-OSLC DOORS Link might be a better fit: http://www.sparxsystems.com/products/mdg/link/doors/index.html.

Urrrr

Doors link just take everything in the doors module and transform it into EA requirements and add them into a package. It keep the hierarchy between the element... but is note really "efficient" since you found yourself with 2 000 000 reqs... it would have been better if titles were transformed in packages...

But, good point, the API detect doors open and allow you to chose your modul.

Bad point, only work with heavy installed client...

When you're dealing with that amount of requirements you should really think of writing your own synchronization between EA and DOORS.
