Adding data to imported partitions

You can add projects, folders, formal modules, and link modules to a partition that you have imported before you synchronize it or return it.

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

You can only add data that is contained in the partition folder.

Once you have added modules to the partition, they look like they were imported, just like the other modules in the partition. You cannot remove them from the partition later.

If you have added new linksets to link modules that were imported from the original partition file, you must add the new linksets to the partition, or they will not be included when you return the partition.

If you want to add a child directory that contains linked modules, make sure that the directory is a folder not a project. Links between modules in a new child project that you add to a partition are lost when the partition is rejoined. This is a limitation of the software, and only affects projects that are added to imported partitions.

Note: You cannot add data to a read-only imported partition.

Procedure

  1. In the database explorer, select the project that contains the partition, and then click File > Properties.
  2. Click the Imported Partitions tab. A list of all the partitions that are currently imported into the project and that have not yet been returned is displayed.
  3. Select the partition that you want to add the data to, and then click Add Data.
  4. Use the file explorer to select the modules that you want to add to the partition.
