DNG Copy from Component NOT copying links when requested to
My context is that I am migrating DOORS 9.6 modules that have links between them into a single DNG 6.0.5 component. (I would rather put the modules in their own components, which is where they will ultimately live, but the DNG migration tool doesn't support cross-component relinking after migrations.)
As a consequence, I am following Richard Watson's advice here and migrating to a single DNG component and then manually moving the modules to their own components.
A few items to note:
The method I am using is Copy from a Component:
On the second page of the resulting wizard, there is an option to include links. I have checked this box, however, it doesn't seem to work.
The links that existed in the original DNG migration "landing zone" ...
Did not come with the copy to a different component.
Any thoughts?

Since you're using components that implies you have configuration management enabled. Links get a bit more complicated when they are crossing components. If artifact 169538 is in another component you would only see the links if you had a global configuration that included both components as your current configuration. If artifact 169538 was also copied into your new component, I'd expect the link to be there even without having a global configuration selected. |

Brian, thanks for your response.
What I later found (and forgot to update the forum), was that I needed to use Clone From A Component to get the artifacts into a separate component, then delete the cloned artifacts in the original component, then add all the components to a global configuration, and finally the cross-component links become visible.
