Communicate between DOORS 8 and 9

How can we bi-directional communicate with our customers if they are using DOORS 8.3 while we are on DOORS 9.3? Of course, we don't want to roll back to spreadsheet. Thank you.

Hi,

we have same problem.
We work with DOORS 8 for customers using this version.,
and with DOORS 9 when we have not this requirement.

I am sure that there is no standard solution. Perhaps some tools supplied others company.

I've logged a call with IBM for direction on this as they advise they don't support 8.1 but upgrading for us, is difficult due to our customers remaining on it, as you're found!
The only way I can think of getting round it, is a partial upgrade, whereby some projects are upgraded to 9.3 (where customers are on the same level) and the rest left on 8.1 until customers upgrade. You would end up with a more complicated setup but I think it would be OK, but am waiting until IBM advise. This sort of upgrade is in their documentation too
