Copy to project via API
Hi,
We are using the DOORS Next "copy to project" feature to copy a folder containing several baseline modules from a reference project when starting a new project. These modules have links between them pre-defined and therefore are copied as well. I've been asked if it's possible to use this same "Copy To Project" feature through an API or would we have to re-implement the whole process by copying each individual artifact within each module etc?
Thanks,
Andy

If you can export this reference information to reqif (which will include links) then there is a reqif import API that you could automate. You even might be able to automate both export and import so the reference can be updated without having to manage a reqif export file?
You must make sure your type definitions used in the reference content all have (fixed) RDF URIs, including link types. I don't think reqif can transfer link constraints, or view definitions - but anyway you should always prototype this process to ensure it meets your end-to-end business needs.
Otherwise yes a RFE will be the best way to go.
