DOORS Next 7 Import .archive file
![]()
How do you import an archive file in DN7?
In previous DNG versions archives of projects could be created by creating an archive in the database and then downloading it as a .archive file
This .archive file could be uploaded to create a copy of the project on another server.
When trying to upload a .archive on DN7 it says 'file must be a zip file'
If I change the .archive extension to a .zip extension it says
'Error importing template: version.txt must contain the export format version.'
When I unzip the old .archive file using 7Zi[p it contains many folders but it does not contain any 'version' file

AFAICT archives are unchanged in 7.0 - I've just created/downloaded an archive from 6.0.5 and uploaded into 7.0 with no problem. I changed the extension to .zip and that worked too (after deleting the template from first upload).
IIRC I've seen an error 'file must be a zip file' one time when I extracted a .archive then re-zipped it - it won't upload to DN. Or perhaps the .archive is corrupted.
Can you re-download it and try with a fresh .archive?
