If you receive a partition file containing modules for you to edit, you can send back synch files as you progress through your work. This means that the originating database can be updated with your work as you proceed, instead of waiting for you to complete your work and return the file. When you create and send a synch file, you keep any edit access that you have to the data that you imported. Users in the originating database can synchronize the data in the sync file with their database and see your updates, but they cannot edit the data until you return the partition to them.
Before you begin
Log in to Rational® DOORS® as a project manager, database manager, or custom user who has the power to partition data.
Procedure

- Click the tab.
- Select the partition you want to synchronize, and then click Synchronize. You must have admin access to all the modules in the partition.
