Returning an imported partition

When you have finished editing the modules in an imported partition, you return the partition to the originating database. Once you return a partition you cannot send any more 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. You must also have admin and delete access to all the modules in the partition.

Make sure that none of the modules in the partition are open.

Procedure

  1. In the database explorer, select the project whose partition you want to return, and then click File >Properties.
  2. Click the Imported Partitions tab.
  3. Select the partition you want to return, and then click Return.
  4. Enter a name and location for the return file. By default, the data that you imported is deleted from your database. To keep a copy, select Keep the imported data.
  5. Click OK to create the return file.

What to do next

Send the return file back to a Rational DOORS user at the originating database so that your changes can be incorporated.
