Rational DOORS RT Interface : Working with the RT Interface : Rational DOORS Interface Support for Transitions : : Synchronizing the Data

Synchronizing the Data

To synchronize the data:

1.
To begin synchronizing, do one of the following:

Select Tools > Synchronize data with DOORS.

Click Save in the DOORS Configuration dialog box.

The RT Login dialog box displays.

2.
Enter your Rational DOORS User name and Password and click OK. The RT Interface Manager dialog box displays and data starts to be resysnchronized.

If an exported data element has changed, the RT Interface overwrites the original version of the data in the Rational DOORS module. If an element has been deleted from the scope of the data to be exported, a Question dialog box displays, giving you the option of deleting the DOORS shadow element.

The following options are available:

Yes - deletes the Rational DOORS shadow element.
Yes to All - deletes all the Rational DOORS shadow elements.
Note:
No or No to All - keeps all versions of the data in the DOORS shadow.
Rename – renames the chart shadow and its direct descendants in DOORS. Use this option when the chart was renamed in Statemate after it was exported.
Abort Export aborts the current export of data, stopping the RT Interface manager.

In order to keep the Statemate data synchronized against its Rational DOORS Object, the Rational DOORS Object includes the attributes “Object CreationStamp.” The value of this attribute is a number representing the time in which the corresponding element was created in the Statemate model.
