DOORs NG 5.02 Migration
Accepted answer
Hi Kunal,
You can accomplish that through a project template.
1) Create a project template with artifacts in your origin environment
The following link explains how to create a project template: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSJJ9R_5.0.2/com.ibm.rational.rrm.help.doc/topics/t_create_proj_template.html?lang=en
To create a "copy" of the whole project, select all elements to be included in the template.
2) Export the project template from the origin environment
3) Import the project template in your target environment
4) Create a new project area using that template. It should looks like the original project.
IMPORTANT: We do not support officially this process between different versions of RDNG! So, do NOT import in production a project template generated in a different version of RDNG. However, I have successfully imported a RDNG 5.0.2 project template on my internal RDNG 6.0 environment. So, if you just want to "populate" some real data in your 6.0 test environment, this procedure should work.
One other answer
For production, we only recommend official procedures.
The use of project templates to "copy" a project from one environment to another, is only officially supported when both environments (source and target) are in the same version. So, to perform this procedure in production, you would have to upgrade your production so it matches the same release of the staging environment (or vice-versa). Also, we recommend to not use Beta releases on production environment (the official RDNG 6.0 should be released in a few weeks)
The other way to "copy" a large amount of artifacts among different environments would be through the ReqIF (but, you already knew that :-) ).
