Andrey,
When you define a custom type in Requirements Gateway, you have the option to define the editor to open your file with. I haven't tested it with Calc, but if you choose the "Text" editor, and then define Writer as the default program to use for ".txt" files, I believe that it should open the file.
The problem is that navigation is not simply opening the file, Requirements Gateway will navigate to the place in the file where the requirement or coverage or section exists if you double click on one of those items. However, it does this through the program's API (Word or Excel for example) which is not going to be equivalent to the OpenOffice API. In this way, we can't simply drop OpenOffice in for Microsoft's product and get it to work. The method I described above should allow you to at least open your document.

Import the test results and doors links back to doors with NI Requirement Gateway

Hi together,
I will try to explain my problem:
We are using TestStand, DOORS and the NI Requirement Gateway.
We created a test specification in DOORS, TestStand used the DOORS IDs to connect the TestSteps in Teststand with the requirements in DOORS.
TestStand runs the test and creates XML-results, the NIRG is able to import these XML-results back to DOORS and creates a new(!!!) DOORS module, parallel to the said test spec.
This module contains some attributes like the single test steps, the results (pass,fail, whatever, ...) but now I am missing a relationship between the DOORS test specification and these results of the XML file or better, the XML-import in the new DOORS Module.
We want to manage our test results only(!) in DOORS so it should be possible to link(!) automatically the results of the XML to the DOORS TestSpec cause we are able to transfer the DOORS-IDs or other attributes (i.e.. The "un"unique NI ID#") too!
in ASCII-art:
DOORS_TestSpec -> NI_TestStand -> NI_Result -> DOORS_Result <--------- with LINKS to the DOORS_TestSpec!!!!!!!!!
Next Step is the DOORS Analyze Tool but we need the links to follow them and to show us the results.
Would be nice to know if somebody else knows the problem or perhaps someone has an other solution. Thanks for your time!
Greet

Regarding your statement "We will generate a chunk of XML-Results, so we are not able to link all the requirements by hand", are you concerned about having to update the path to the XML files each time you run the test? In this case, I would recommend creating a directory to store only the most recent report (the report path can be modified in the TestStand report options), and set the XML report project in Requirements Gateway to point to this directory. In your TestStand sequence, you could call code which moves the previous report file into a backup location so that only the newest file is in the specified directory. THis would prevent you from needing to modify the Requirements Gateway project to access the latest report; reanalyzing would reload the project with the new file. The traceability information will therefore always be up to date, and you can see that the DOORS requirements are being covered by the test results.
I agree that there is not really a good solution for importing the XML reports into DOORS, but I think you can acheive the result you are looking for using the report files directly.

Is it possible to define limits, parameters, etc. (in TestStand) as requirements for Requirements Gateway?

Hello guys,
Actually this is more a "Requirements Gateway" question. However, as there seems to be no board for it yet, I'll try my luck here.
So, this is my situation:
I'm using Requirements Gateway mainly to manage changes and different versions of requirements.
The requirements are written down in a Word file. Certain steps in TestStand sequences cover those requirements.
What I am interested in is to be able to see when a change in my requirements has occurred but the TestStand file hasn't yet been altered to meet the new/changed requirement.
Now by "requirement" I mean things like limits, parameters (voltages, currents, etc.).
Does anybody know, how to do this?
So far I am only able to process things that are formatted with the "Requirements_ID" style in a Word file.
However, the parameters mentioned above are in the "Requirements_Text".
Ok, sorry once more if this is the wrong place to ask this.
Greetings from Wetzlar, Germany

Hi there,
I found a solution to my problem. However not with the help of the people of NI!!
As a matter of fact, I'm still waiting for some practical advice from NI.
When I phoned them on July 12th, the woman at the other end didn't even know at first that Requirements Gateway was a National Instruments product !!!
I then got outreached to a guy who wanted me to mail him my problem. I did but got no answer. So I called again and was promised to be called back. Yesterday (13th), after having left for the day some guy called back and a collegue of mine left me a note with the email address of the NI guy.
I wrote him an email this morning and I'm waiting for his reply.
I have to admit, I expected more. Now I'm rather disappointed by NI. I mean, you buy a software worth $2000 and they don't really know it's on their products list !!! Come on!!
However, HERE IS THE SOLUTION I FOUND:
First load your project (if not already loaded) into Requirements Gateway (NIRG).
In the menu bar click on "File" then on "Edit snapshots".
A dialog box called "Configuration" will appear.
You can now make a snapshot of your current project by clicking on "File" in the menu bar and then on "Make a snapshot of current project...".
NIRG will prompt you for a name for your snapshot.
Afterwards you will see your snapshot in the left column.
Whenever a change occurs to your project, NIRG notices this (it asks you whether or not to reanalyze the project), you can now go to the "Configuration" dialog box and click on the snapshot you took earlier on.
In the right column you will then see EVERY change in your project. When you click on an item that has changed, in the two gray fields below you can even see HOW things have changed.
By selecting "Display" -> "Selected snapshot view" you can even see what your project looked like when you took the snapshot.
OK, this is as far as I got.
I won't tell NI about my solution . I'm really curious to see whether they come up with the same idea or something even better.
Take care!

Hi D. Kelley,
Thanks for the details. Based on your description, you might need to change or update the SID for users. Try identity command to change the username if you never use the new username in TFS. Check this page for more information about
identities command in this

Requirements Gateway - Searching for requirements in table rows in a Adobe PDF file

In my quest for creating a good understanding of the coverage of requirements of my test cases I download the NIRG (NI Requirements Gateway) and started out importing my SRS (System Requirement Specifications) documents and some of the test cases. There are many different types of sources which can be imported (Word, Excel, Visio, Access, PDF, ...) and NIRG uses REGEX (Regular Expressions) for extracting the requirement and coverage information of the sources. NI have defined some standardized REGEX formats but they (NI) have also made it possible for tweaking these to fit your purpose.
Instead of adding/changing the SRS documents to fit these standardized REGEX formats, I dived into how to create REGEX for my purpose.

Hi Manooch_H,
Here is the example document and thank you for taking the time and helping me out .
The columns which I would like to import into NIRG are actually all of them. The UC, Verification, Priority and Responsible columns should be imported as attributes to the requirement. The ID and Requirement columns should be imported as the Requirement and Text respectivaly.

MPPE required but not available

Hi,
Seems like this issue is recurring on the discussion board.
I am running pptp-vpn on an osx server 10.5.7, which is also an OD master.
EDIT: Should add that I was using my OD accounts to VPN, not local accounts.
Until yesterday, the pptp-vpn worked. But today I get this error (I did some changes to the DNS server yesterday, and shutdown the OD replica, probably what caused it):
"MPPE required but not available."

Tyghe got it right, HOWEVER, if your OD is munged for any reason OR there are more than one user, you many need to be more 'invasive' about cleaning up and then fixing this issue
If you run the command `vpnaddkeyagentuser /LDAPv3/<od servername>` and it just keeps prompting me like it isn't authenticating, you OD is probably either unstable or non functional. Probably needs an archive and demote-promote.
If you run the command and it runs without prompting me for any username or password and adds an entry into the system keychain but does not create a user on the OD server, it is probably similar to issue as above.
The way I would deal with this is to clear the keychain of EVERY entry, then open WGM, delete all the VPN MPPE users, and try the command again. There will only be one user that contain the 'secret' password for MPPE use, attached to VPN and the password is placed in to the keychain, all others are now dead.

NI Requirement Gateway Table Requirements

I am trying to pull requirements out of a *.docx table and understand that I must first create a custom type in order to perform this. As I understand I must edit the regular expression for the Requirement Type in order to parse the requirement from the Intermediate File. Where can I find this intermediate file in order to base my regular expression off of it?

Thanks,

Hi Craige,
In order to generate the intermediate file, you'll need to enable it in the Project tab of the Configuration Window (see the checkbox in the image below). Once this is selected, a folder called "Intermediate" will be created in the location of the document file, and this folder will contain the intermediate file. Once you have this file, you can paste the contents into the Text analysis zone (in the Expressions tab in Configuration) to test your regular expressions.
Hopefully this clarifies things - let me know if you have further questions!

Bonjour,
Avec la même version de NI RG je n'ai pas eu de problèmes pour charger une librairie.
Qu'est-ce qu'il y'a exactement de votre librairie ? Des classes LV ? Des controles ? Uniquement des VIs ?
Est-ce que vous arrivez à ouvrir cette librairie avec LabVIEW sans problèmes ?
Avez vous recompilé les VIs de cette librairie ?
Typiquement un LVLIB est just un fichier XML qui indique ou sont situés les VIs présents dans la librairie. Il ne devrait pas y'avoir de soucis. Comment avez vous ajouté cette librairie a votre projet d'exigences ?
Cordialement,

Using Requirements Gateway with LabVIEW classes

Does anyone know how to get the NI Requirements Gateway to read coverage information from the documentation contained in a LabVIEW class (.lvclass)?
Requirements Gateway appears to load the documentation content fine from VIs, controls, .llb, .lvlib, .lvproj etc, but not .lvclass? My LabVIEW keeps crashing out when I try to point Requirements Gateway at a project with .lvclass files!
If this can't be done then is there a neat way to add requirements coverage information (you know, the "Covers: ID" field) into the class properties, or something near the class maybe, that Requirements Gateway can read?
Thoric (CLA, CLED, CTD and LabVIEW Champion)
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Manooch,
Thank you for your prompt reply. The example you attached, with a little alteration to include the coverage ID tag in the class documentation field, does precisely what I need, thank you. The snapshot below shows the LabVIEW class satisfying requirement 2:
However, this doesn't work in my project. I have similar content, and when I ask Requirements Gateway to analyse the project it shows nothing and then LabVIEW crashes! I'll have to try stripping my project down to the bare bones to find the problematic element. I hate it when this happens....

Requirements gateway & regular expressions

I'm trying to create a regular expression that will match a Requirement ID type in a MS Word document using Requirements Gateway.
Our syntax for a Requirement ID is as follows:
    '* shall [::requirement id] *'
An example would be
    'The system shall [::requirement1] self destruct after 1 minute of use.'
I'm using the following RE.
    shall[ \t]*\[[ \t]*(.*):.+)\]
I've been able to get it to match 'most' of Requirement ID's ,but a few aren't caught...most noteably those Requirement ID's that run past the end of the
line.
When 'shall' is on one line and '[::requirement1]' is on the next, the Requirement ID isn't matched.
Are there any limitations to the RE engine that Requirements Gateway uses?
If not, any help with the RE would be MUCH appreciated.
thanks
Pat

Allen,
Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately it didn't help
Again, our requirements are identified by a 'shall' followed by a tag in brackets.
Ie The unit shall [<optional source>::requirement id] be expensive.
The RE, "shall\[(.*):.+)\]" doesn't always work. (Sorry for the embedded emoticon)
Most of the time it identifies the tag but says
Requirement ' : XYZ' can't be covered.
Error: Requirement defined several times
Other times is combines two tags into one.
I'm attaching the modifed type and the doc thats causing the problems.
Thanks for your continued help,
Pat

Wildcard's in the Registry Requirements Section of Availability

Can you set wildcard's in the registry requirements section of
availability??
I want to launch an app only if the ComputerName does not match our
standard. All of our computer names are PSY-serialnumber and I want to
launch the app for computers without that type of computer name. I tried
setting it to Not Equal To "PSY-*" and I also tried % but neither worked.
Any ideas??
Thanks,

I don't believe this is possible. ( ZFD6.5 allows for > or < testing as well
as multiple conditions to make this easy )
Perhaps you could set an environment variable in the logon script based upon
the the computer name.
Truncate this variable X number of characters and see if it is an exact match
for "PSY-".
See http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/se...?/10062309.htm for
an idea on how to do this.
They reference Network Address, but the same thing would work with a computer
name.
