Rejoining an exported partition updates your database with
the changes that have been made to the data that you exported. Any
read locks associated with the export are removed when you rejoin
the partition, and you cannot synchronize any further updates.
Before you begin
Log in to Rational® DOORS® as a project manager, database
manager, or custom user who has the power to partition data.
About this task
As changes in the remote database might have been made by
users who do not exist in your database, the history record shows
the user who rejoins the partition as being the user who made the
changes.
The following system attributes are automatically created
when you rejoin a partition:
- Remote Created By
- Remote Created On
- Remote Last Modified By
- Remote Last Modified On
Rejoining an exported partition also removes the read-only
locks, so users can edit the data again.
You cannot rejoin a
partition if either the project or any of the modules in the partition
are open.
Note: In the database explorer, the folder or project selected
in the left pane is open and has an open folder icon

or an 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.
