Importing ReqIF packages
A Requirements Interchange Format package is an XML file that has been exported from a
IBM® Engineering Requirements
Management DOORS®
(DOORS)
database. When you receive a Requirements Interchange Format package, you import it into your
DOORS
database. The modules that are contained in the file are created in your database.
Before you begin
About this task
Note: Each object in your DOORS
database has a unique absolute number. After an absolute number has been assigned, that number is
not used again. When you import a package, the objects in the package are treated as new objects and
assigned new unique absolute numbers.
Procedure
- In the database explorer, select the project or folder where you want to import the package, and then click The .Import ReqIF Package File window is displayed.
- Browse to the package that you want to import.
- Click OK. The Import ReqIF Package window is displayed.
- In the Import ReqIF Package window, complete the required fields. The fields that are available depend on whether DOORS recognizes the package as being associated with a definition that exists in the project.
- Click Import.
