Synchronizing Rhapsody Model Elements with DOORS

This lesson guides you through how to synchronize Rhapsody Model Elements with DOORS

At this stage, the Rhapsody Requirements have been updated.
Links between Rhapsody Requirements and Rhapsody Model Elements have been kept during the Gateway Migration.
Model Elements can be now exported to DOORS...

From Rhapsody, run the menu Tools > ReqXChanger > Export to DOORS.

Rhapsody displays some roundtrip messages indicating the execution.
It also indicates that a new ReqIF file has been created:

Import the ReqIF Package in DOORS

A new ReqIF File has been created, you have to import it in DOORS:

From DOORS, select the menu File > Import ReqIF Package....

Select the roundtrip ReqIF File created by ReqXChanger.

DOORS returns an error message at the time of import. Please just answer OK.

Set a name to the imported ReqIF Package:

Click on the Import button.

When the ReqIF import is complete, click on the OK button.

A new folder appears in the Explorer tree. It contains several Formal Modules and Links Modules:

The modules created correspond to the ReqIF Definition created during the Requirements export. So we will be able to perform a Merge.

Merge the ReqIF Package

To perform a Merge in DOORS:

Select the menu File > Properties...

Select the tab ReqIF Definitions, and select the button Imports...:

Select the button Merge and then Close. The merge is complete.
