No but you can export text based artifacts in the cvs format. If you elaborate your needs there might be other options.

Yes, elaborate some more on what you are trying to achieve, as a simple search didn't return much information on the .dba or .dma file formats or what they are used for.

And feel free to put in a request for enhancement, which you can do here: IBM Software RFE Community

The requirement is that, we need to send the artifacts details to some external customers in the form of .dba or .dma format. I know we can export the the artifacts in CVS or excel format. But our customer don't want the report in the form of excel or cvs. They want in the form of .dba or .dma format so that they upload these artifacts into their system and starts working on them. I didn't found any option in RDNG 6.0.2 web interface from where i export the artifacts in desired format. Is there any other way around?

As far as I know, you cannot use DOORS module archive files directly in DOORS NG. You can create .csv or .xml files through DOORS and import into DOORS NG as explained in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxJuf12bDWo

I guess you mean .dpa (DOORS Project Archive) and .dma (DOORS Module Archive).
These formats are only supported in Classic DOORS, so you could export your modules from DNG in CSV or ReqIF format, import them into DOORS 9.x (provided you have that), and then "archive" the imported modules.
If you do not have access to a DOORS 9.x database, I see no way you could produce .dma or .dpa files since these are in a proprietary binary format.
The preferred way to exchange modules is in ReqIF. (You can find docs and tutorials about this in the forum, in the DNG documentation and on Youtube.)
