Some data structures and processes in Rational DOORS have no
functional equivalent in Rational DOORS Next Generation. The Jazz
platform, on which Rational DOORS Next Generation is built,
provides alternative ways to do similar functions. For example, Jazz provides alternative
capabilities for team collaboration, view filters and sorting, suspicion, baselines, access control,
and security. You can use the Migration Metrics utility during the analysis phase of the migration to determine which data
is impacted.
Rational DOORS Next Generation does not support rich text outside of the Primary Text attribute. Although the information is
contained in the exported migration package, it is ignored during the import operation. This lack of
support impacts the following
Rational DOORS
attribute types:
- User attributes of type “Text” that contain OLE.
- User attributes of type “String” or “Text” that contain rich text styles, such as bold and
italics.
Links between objects in modules that are in the same migration package are migrated. Links
between objects that are in separate packages are not migrated.
These data types are not migrated:
- Access controls.
- Attribute DXL; however, the displayed results are migrated.
- Baseline set definitions.
- Baseline sets.
- Baselines.
- Descriptive modules.
- Dictionaries.
- Discussions; however, the displayed results in columns are migrated.
- Rational DOORS partitions.
- Rational DOORS project and module archives; that is, DPA or DMA.
- DXL.
- Favorites.
- Filters; however, migrated collections show the expected result set.
- Groups.
- History.
- Layout DXL; however, this data can be converted to Attribute DXL so that the displayed results
are migrated.
- Link attributes.
- Link modules.
- Linkset pairings.
- Page setups.
- Predicate mappings; that is, mapping attributes to URIs.
- ReqIF packages.
- Shareable sections.
- Soft-deleted data; that is, data that is deleted but not purged.
- Sorts.
- Suspicion.
- Template files for IBM Rational Publishing Engine.
- Triggers.
- Working sets.
These Rational DOORS add-ons
and integrations have no equivalent capability in Rational DOORS Next Generation. Metadata
for these capabilities might be included in migrated modules, objects, and attributes, but it is not
supported in Rational DOORS Next Generation. During
the analysis phase, you can identify this metadata by using the Migration Metrics utility. This
analysis helps you decide whether to remove the metadata during the preparation phase.
