Does anybody know:
Will a module or project archive (dma or dpa) that is created with DOORS 8.0 be able to be restored into a DOORS 7.1 database? If so, will the history records as viewed in DOORS 7.1 restored copy show link deletions? And, Are there any other incompatabilities with restoring a 8.0 archive into a 7.1 database? ------------------------- Kim Faint (kim.faint@boeing.com) Systems Engineer Boeing Australia http://www.boeing.com.au |

I just tried this out...
When I attempted to restore an archive created by DOORS 8 into a DOORS 7.1 database it generated a warning box that said 'No comment found.'. Not the most descriptive error message ever... This is unfortunate because it means that we cannot upgrade to version 8 until our customer does because they will wan't to be able to restore our archives on their system and they may not upgrade their system for some time. Is their a work around for this? Can a DOORS 8 archive be converted to a DOORS 7.1 archive? ------------------------- Kim Faint (kim.faint@boeing.com) Systems Engineer Boeing Australia http://www.boeing.com.au |

Kim,
If you speak to your Telelogic Consultant they may be able to point you in the direction of a tool which has been developed by Telelogic - Germany. I have not used it myself but apparently it does just what you are asking. Otherwise you will have to resort to csv files to go from version 8.x to 7.x. Ken McGuffie |

I asked the same question earlier this year and was also being informed that it 'yes it can be done, but for a price' type of answer.
Ok, fair enough, if one customer is asking for it, but, should this functionality be not provided by Telelogic for free? Given that obviously this is a capability needed by some major customers. If it is already been written, used and proven in Germany, why not make it available to all customers asking for it? ------------------------- werner.kolze@baesystems.com |

Be aware that any conversion is likely to only work under certain conditions. Bear in mind that DOORS 8 stores data as Unicode, meaning that data can be more than jsut most western languages as DOORS 7.1 did. Any conversion may not be able to properly spot non-Latin-1 codepage data and as such may convert it to garbage or just lose it entirely. Be aware that other data may not convert properly. DOORS 8 stores a long name with Electronic signatures, DOORS 7 does not and so any conversion may either throw this away or just make Electronic signatures totally incompatible. This is just an example and does not provide an exhaustive list of the reasons why we do not provide a conversion as standard.

Hi.
I think this tool is called DOORS Exchange. Ewen Miller |

Is there any further information about this issue?
I'm suffering the same problem.
We are just now in a migration phase between v7.1 and v8.0.
But we can't stop the "rotary press" machinere in all projects
