How to synchronize data between rational DOORS and rational ClearCase

Using IBM Rational DOORS for ClearCase Interface

The IBM Rational DOORS for ClearCase Interface is a bridge between the two products, so you can configure management to fulfill the traceability requirements of the lifecycle. You can use this interface for multiple tasks, and this article will further describe each of these tasks:

Importing data from ClearCase into Rational DOORS

The complete structure of the version-controlled object library (VOB) is imported into a rational DOORS module to create a rational DOORS object for each element, version, and branch. attributes, attributes, and labels are also imported.

The Rational DOORS for ClearCase Interface uses the Microsoft Windows drive letter to select the view. You can choose to use a dynamic view drive (usually M), or a view that represents a particular dynamic or snapshot view. With dynamic view drives, you can select any view of any VOB without selecting a drive letter, simplifying the import operation.

To import from ClearCase, do the following:

Open the target Rational DOORS module.

In the Doorsconnect menu, select ClearCase > Synchronize/import, as shown in Figure 1.

Attention:

If you want to import from a dynamic view, make sure the Drive field contains the correct drive. M: Is the default value for ClearCase, as shown in Figure 2.
