importing document to ea and creating requirements

[shirleyj]

Hi,
I was wondering about an issue regarding the subject above.
I'm importing a document(pdf/rtf) to EA, in order to create requirements from it, i use this way in order to do kind of integrity check between the info in the document to the req. in the model.
The question is, what happens if i recieve an updated document?!
in one hand  want to keep track of the already existing req. in the model, and in the other hand i want to see the updates and complete them in my model req.
How can i do both in the same document artifact?!
Tnx in advanced,
Shirley

One could write books about that...

What we do (in fact importing from DOORS via an add-in): The import package has tagged values that reflect the import status (statistic, source information, etc.). For each changed requirement we set the status to "Changed" and create a relation to an issue element with the import date. So all changed requirements can be identified by inspecting the relations of this element. For new requirements the status is set to "Created" also with a link to another issue. Missing requirements are moved to a Trash folder, receiving the status "Deleted" and a link to a third issue.
