Exporting partition definitions

Export a partition definition to create a partition file that you can send to another Rational® DOORS® user to import into their Rational DOORS database. The partition file contains a copy of the data that is included in the partition definition. Any modules that were added to the partition definition with edit access are locked in your database when you export the partition definition.

Before you begin

Make sure that the project and the modules that are included in the partition definition are not open. You cannot export a partition definition if either the project or any of the modules are open.

You must have modify access to the project, and admin access to all the modules in the partition definition.

Note: In the database explorer, the folder or project selected in the left pane is open and has an open folder icon open folder icon or an open project icon open project icon. Its parent folder or project is also open, and so are all the folders and projects above it in the database tree, although they do not have open folder or open project icons. When a module is open, all the folders and projects above it in the database tree are also open.

Procedure

  1. In the database explorer, select the project that contains the partition definition that you want to export, and then click File > Properties.
  2. Click the Partition Definitions tab, select the partition definition that you want to export, and then click Export.
