MATLAB: What are the key points to remember when migrating to a new IBM DOORS database server

Question

We are working with the Simulink Verification and Validation toolbox to link our Simulink model and the requirements in IBM DOORS. We are planning to move the existing DOORS database to a new server. What are the key points to remember when migrating to a new IBM DOORS database server?

Answer 1

Simulink Verification and Validation does not directly communicate with the DOORS Server via TCP/IP, over a specific port. It communicates locally with the DOORS Client via ActiveX; the DOORS Client typically resides in the same machine with the MATLAB installation.

The DOORS Client may communicate with the DOORS Server via TCP/IP and over a port determined by DOORS. Hence, if your current setup is working fine, then migrating to a different server is not likely to cause any issues with Simulink Verification and Validation if the DOORS client is able to communicate with the new DOORS server.
