Hi Doorsians!

Are Doors versions forwards compatible?
I have received .dpa and .dma files from the version 7.1, but I have a new version in my
work-pc: version 8.1. My question:
Is it possible opening this files of  this version : 7.1 (.dma, .dpa) in the new version: 8.1 ??
(Sorry I'm new in Doors)

Thanks!

Christian

Yes, but you can't go backwards.

Use File -> Restore -> Project for the dpa and File -> Restore -> Module for the dma

These were created with a File -> Archive command, but if you try to do the same, they won't be restorable into the 7 database that they came from originally.

But is it possible to get any 3rd party tools that do the v8.x -->> v7.x conversion successfully?

We have been attempting to restore both modules and projects created in 7.1 into 8.1 and for each that we attempted we receive the following error:
Selected file is not a DOORS project archive or was created by an incompatible version of DOORS.

We have tried restoring in both 8.1 patch 2 and patch 6 with the same error.

We have submitted for assistance from Telelogic, unfortunately they are unable to replicate the error and therefore seem unable to assist.

Can anyone offer any insight into this?

Hello all, I think my problem is related. We have to go in the opposite direction: I am using DOORS 8.1, a contractor uses 7.1. Is it possible to transfer data so that they can import them in 7.1? Dieter

Going backwards doesn't seem to be a possibility without conversion tool...
