Answer:
We need to migrate a DOORs 6 Database into an existing doors 7.1 database.

Is this possible?

or

do we have to create another new empty DOORs 7 database.
Migrate the version 6 data into this new database then Archive / restore to the existing Version.

Yes you will have to migrate - the process is explained in the DOORS install documentation.

You can archive and restore. But there is another way.

Stop your DOORS 6 and DOORS 7 services.

Make a copy of your DOORS 7\data directory to a safe place. ( Archive any existing DOORS 7 projects)

Delete the Doors7\Data directory.

Copy your DOORS6\Data directory into \DOORS7

Restart you DOOR 7 service.

Log into DOORS as the Administrator, and you should be presented with a dialogue box asking you if you wish to migrate.


Select Confirm and it should do the job.

Restore any existing DOORS 7 projects.

Note: user groups, user names ans passwords and permissions will also be as for your DOORS 6 installation, as I recall.


Hope this is useful


Regards,

You cannot merge. The projects in either the v6 or the v7 database will need to be archived and restored in the other. That creates a bunch of user-access problems, however, since the user accesses in one database will NOT match the other. After restore you'll spend a lot of time massaging the attribute accesses.
