Hi, I have used DOORS for requirement life cycle management with teh support of dedicated staff who will do the background databse work for us. Now I want to learn DXL myself. Where should I start? Is there a tutorial available for it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, 

As far as I know, there is no manual as is. There are web pages (thecloudstrap, baselines inc, SmartDXL...) and some videos in youtube that will help you. But the most important is the DXL Reference pdf in https://www.ibm.com/docs/SSYQBZ_9.6.1/com.ibm.doors.requirements.doc/topics/dxl_reference_manual.pdf

The problem I see in your case is how to practice if you have not a data base to test. Talk to your Doors admin, maybe he/she can create a database for that purposes, even give some advices or documents.

Good luck!!

Hi Khalid,

we have a lot of dxl examples on our website: https://requisis.com/en/werkzeuge/dxl-bibliothek.html

This could also be a good starting point.
