The ReqIF-Function<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As an international standard for data exchange between database-systems, the ReqIF exchange format (Req<\/strong>uirements I<\/strong>nterchange F<\/strong>ormat) can be used.<\/p>\n

For example: You are using PolarionTM<\/sup> while your client (or customer) is using another database-system, which can handle exchange formats like ReqIF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use-Case: Simple and easy data import from DOORSTM<\/sup> to PolarionTM<\/sup><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In this use-case, a ReqIF-file will be exported from DOORSTM<\/sup> and imported to PolarionTM<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Example<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A DOORSTM<\/sup> project includes three modules; each module contains several attributes. Decide which data is necessary and should be\/ or has to be transferred. See the following options:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. All project-modules including all module-attributes.<\/li>\n
  2. All project-modules including selected module-attributes.<\/li>\n
  3. Selected project-modules including all module-attributes.<\/li>\n
  4. Selected project-modules and selected module-attributes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The way how to import the data is very easy. Choose the project and Index (folder) where you want to import the ReqIF-file and select the necessary file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Then, select all necessary modules which should be imported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    And finally, select all attributes which should be mapped\/ merged on PolarionTM<\/sup> side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Note<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Please make sure, that the following attributes are mapped correctly:<\/u><\/p>\n
