 Hi guys,


I have a project in DOORS which consist of folders, artefacts, business processes and rules etc.

I want to create an exact replica of this project as a copy, can someone pls help?

Open the project

Make sure you are an administrator of the project.

Go to cog-wheel> Manage Project Properties

>Select Templates

>New Template

>Select all the check-box options


>Give the template a name and save it

Create a new project

Click on Explore Project in the new project

DNG will ask you if you want to create content from a template

Select the template you created previously


The new project will be an exact copy of the old project except it will not have:-

Comments, Reviews, History

You can alternatively use ReqIF to copy the project but in this case your project will also not have Workflows or Module Templates

The answer appears to be for DOORS classic.

Hi Ralph,

The technique for DOORS Classic would be quite different. You would use Archive to create a DPA file and Restore to create a project from the DPA.

The method I have described above gets me an exact copy of a project in DNG when I follow it.
