Hi everyone,

I have looked around but I'm not finding much info on this (maybe that's user error!). How can I extract DOORs to a dump file? What are the different dump options available? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks!

Tony, several methods are available as long as you have access to the DOORS repository.  Due to security the database is not accessible without a user or Administrator account in DOORS. 

After you have logged in and have the appropriate permissions;

• You can create a "Project Archive".  This will provide a .dpa file (similar to .zip) that can be only be restored into another instance of DOORS.
• Open a DOORS Module and do a “Module Archive” then restore in a different project or instance of DOORS.
• Open a Module and export views to CVS or MSWord.

You can also export data using the ReqIF format, you can define a ReqIF definition as part of a project's properties which would include modules, and links between them if you wish. Then you can export the data (this is XML), and then use it in another DOORS 9.x or DNG instance (and/or other tools that can read in this format)
