Merge Database User Accounts

To merge 2 databases requires archiving the data from DB1 and restoring into DB2.

 

The users accounts will also need merged.

 

The DOORS Help says that:-

 

When you restore a user archive, you replace all the current user information with the information in the archive.

 

So using .dua files seems not to be an option. Is the only option to manually create each user account from DB1 into DB2?

You can also use DXL to dump the relevant user account into out to a text or csv file and then write a DXL script to read that data and create the user accounts in the new database.
