DOORS export prerequisites
Before exporting data from IBM DOORS, verify these prerequisites for a successful export.
Mapping
The Object Identifier column in IBM DOORS is typically mapped to the Name field in Jama Connect.
If you're importing hierarchy, the DOORS standard Object Heading and Text (or Main) column must be mapped to the Description field in Jama Connect. This is the only column that exports hierarchy information to HTML for Jama Connect imports.
Links
If you're importing links (trace relationships) across multiple modules in DOORS:
The modules must be open when you export. A DOORS export includes only the modules that are shown in your view, so make sure no filters are selected because they limit the number of items exported.
Each module must have a unique prefix so that the Object Identifier is unique. DOORS doesn't enforce this requirement, so make sure you confirm that each module has a unique prefix before you export.
The Object Identifier column must be visible in the DOORS module view (not Object Number or Absolute Number). The Object Identifier is a combination of the Module Prefix and the Absolute Number (as in SYS32). If the Object Identifier has only integer values, the Module Prefix is most likely empty.
