This document details the various mechanisms that provide "traceability" in Integrity.  For the purposes of this document, traceability is defined as the ability to link disparate items/objects/artifacts together to provide increased visibility and easier location of the related items. The exact types of objects linked, as well as the reasons for doing so differ on a case by case basis.   The functionality detailed includes both the various types of relationship fields as well as the special functionality described as traces.  The document is roughly divided into two sections;  definitions and recommendations on how to configure the various relationship mechanisms, followed by how to view or use the various mechanisms. 

Can I call the MKS CLI commands automatically by putting them in my build.xml file? I am trying to automate aspects of the build process using the mkstask.jar and mksapi.jar files and would like to be able to configure my build.xml file so that it will automatically connect to the integrity server and make those commands. Is this possible? Upon looking at the CLI reference guide, it seems like they must directly be typed into the command line terminal since the commands are always listed like so:im connect [--hostname=value] [--port=value] [--password=value] [--user=value] [(-?|--usage)] [(-F file|--selectionFile=file)] [(-N|--no)] [(-Y|--yes)] [--[no]batch] [--cwd=directory] [--forceConfirm=[yes|no]] [(-g|--gui)] [--quiet] [--settingsUI=[gui|default]] [--status=[none|gui|default]]however, upon viewing some documentation on the ant task, it seems as though these commands could be put in the build.xml file and automatically invoked like in this example:The MKS Source command "si co --lo

I want to change a content level in excel.SectionText1here is text......2here is text....3here is text....SectionText1here is text......1.1here is text....2here is text....So I'm finding many blogging, it could do at MKS solution (maybe in 2008)  (reference : https://change.unigroupinc.com/documentation/pdf/MicrosoftExcelIntegrationGuide.pdf , 23page)But it doesn't work.this is code that I try in excel integration.<field external="Relationship" internal="Contained By"  field-type="relationship" direction="both" reldirection="backward"/>and this is error message in excel integration."Could not save modified item 3788: MKS124080: Cannot modify standard field: Contained By"

What is the difference between the IM beans and the SI beans(ex imServerBean vs siServerBean)? What are the situations where you should or should not use them and why?

Retrieving Information from Multiple Traces‌This is the relevant mapping file.

I added in my viewset the comment feature but I don't knwo how to use it. I didn't find any information in help but there was another useful feature named bookmark.I wanted to use it as well but I don't understand how to activate it. When I highlight a text and I want to use "properties" in drop-down menu, this feature is greyed.Any recommendations:     - to use the comments     - to activate the bookmark feature

Currently it is not possible to use the XML language defined include structure:gateway configuration XML could include many different xmls that define the different exporters and importers.Would be nice to have such feature

Intro This article outlines a concept how you can include the Gateway Configuration files for mappings and the main gateway-tool-configuration.xml in the staging process. The goal is to have a single process for each type of server file transfer.   Advantages No need to touch any Gateway file on TEST or PROD environment. File transfer utilizes the standard Integrity Stage Process Current Status In Integrity Standard, the Gateway server files resides in the directory server/data/gateway. Therefore those files can not be staged. But it is a common request to stage them like any other server file.   Our Approach The staging process takes up all files which are stored in server/data/public_html. So at first, we put the gateway XML files beside the Gateway template files. Additionally, we use a trigger script to copy the staged files from this directory into the target directory. During this copy process the trigger will also change the server name to the right one. &n

Hello, is there a way to avoid the computer to automatically restart using the silent uninstall on Integrity 11.1. The restart happens only if the client was installed using silent install. RegardsOumar

Intention This document describes the consulting solution "Integrity STeF", which can help you to perform functional tests within Integrity W&D.   What is STeF? Integrity STeF stands for "Integrity Setup Testing Framework" to perform functional tests by entering and updating Integrity data through the Integrity API. STeF uses the FitNesse tool (see fitnesse.org). FitNesse itself is a Wiki-based testing platform to manage the test cases and test groups. STeF combines both tools by building the bridge between them.   Related Use Cases As a functional tester, I’d like to test if the data entry for Defects or Change Requests can be done without errors by different roles, including state changes and proper handling of required fields. As a functional tester, I’d like to test that all my triggers will perform as before after a major concept change in my trigger logic. As a system tester, I’d like to perform a number of tests in one run, to validate that my system performs in

I'd like to set a default value for new nodes in a document, in my case a table. I've tried prefixing with <!-- MKS HTML --> but all the HTML tags just appear as typed and not rendered. I suspect it's not possible.

I have a concern with inherited part properties in Integrity Modeler using SysML. I'am not able to change the type of an inherited part property (without changing the type in the "parent-element" as well). Any ideas?Here is a simplified example:So far the following blocks and relations have been modeled:Now I wish to redefine the type of the part property "p" of "Child". It should be in the end like this:Comment: I did this before in Cameo Systems modeler. The procedure there was: right click on "p" of "Child""refactor""redefine to..."A list of possible types apeared - in this case [Type of Parent Part; Type of Child Part] - and I would choose "Type of Child Part"

Hi I want install Thing worx 7.4 on Mac facing issue Error "Failed to load FlxCore library" is returned when starting ThingWorx 7.4.Please help..

What I am really missing is the possibility to link to information outside the model in an fast and easy accessible manner.Current Situation: There are no active Hyperlinks available.I copy the Hyperlinks (URLs) as text into the various fields (esp. Description), mainly RTF-typed fields. Unfortunately they are simple text. To access them I need to copy them manually into the browser's address field, which is cumbersome and error-prone.If I copy working active hyperlinks from an external RTF editor into modeler it does not do the trick (as it does with images and tables), the link gets transformed in the caption and the address that are placed one after the other as plain text.Desired Behavior: at least in RTF-typed fields I can use active hyperlinks, that by clicking them will open the browser (or any other tool registered in the OS for the hyperlink's protocol) with the respective hyperlink.Priority: For me it is a high priority feature, as the value of information is directly linked

If you're programmatically creating data in ILM (e.g. using the API), chances are that creating a label and writing data immediately after creating the label would happen at the same second. Since the time stamp the label holds is only down to the second, some data created right AFTER the label would be shown IN the label, because their time stamps are identical. Care should be taken to wait for at least a second after creating the label/baseline and then write new data.

Hello,While exporting requirements via Gateway, I am currently able to retrieve information from one type of traced item by specifying a trace definition in the Wizard Configuration File (for example: <property name="traceDefinition">Requirement:Satisfied By</property> allows to me get all information from items linked to the requirement via a "Satisfied By" trace). However, I can't figure out how to pull information from more than one kind of trace. Say a requirement has both "Satisfied By" and "Modelled By" trace links. How can I retrieve data from both of these traces?Thanks in advance!Katie
