Use the Requirements Interchange Format (RIF) to exchange
requirement information between Rational® DOORS® databases.
You can send Rational DOORS data for editing to another Rational DOORS database. After the data has been edited,
it is returned to the originating Rational DOORS database, and, if appropriate,
merged with the original data. Returning the data and merging it is
a two-step process.
How you use the RIF functionality depends on whether you are:
- Sending the RIF data to a third-party, and then receiving updated
data back from them
- Receiving the RIF data, and then editing and returning it
