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
- In the database explorer, select the project that contains
the partition, and then click .
- 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.
- In the Synch file name field, type
the name of the synch file that you want to write the data to, or
use Browse to locate it.
- If you want to include any information about the synch
file, type it in the Comment box.

data to it.
- Send the synch file to a user at the originating database,
so that they can use it to synchronize their database.
