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

FORUM ADMINISTRATOR / FORUM MODERATOR / JAZZ DEVELOPER 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.
Comments Ah ok, thanks Ian, that's an interesting approach that I'll look into. Yes, I've been through the pain a couple of years ago with URI's and and JRS so made sure everything has a URI |
Hello Andy
I'm afraid there is no API to perform this operation. I would suggest that you open a product enhancement request where we can better discuss your requirements.
cheers
