DOORs Import Performance

[DanaMaxwell]

Using DOORS Import function it is taking several hours to import a module that is approximately 2000 requirements. Is this typical? Is there a way to determine what is driving the poor performance?

The import is not threaded so my entire EA app is frozen (Not Responding) but if I monitor the the .EAP I can see it is growing so I assume it is still working at it. I have imported other modules with a similar experience. The import progress window says "Checking EA package contents" and remains like that for hours, when it does complete, the progress window fills up at the end, making it more of a log than a progress.

Any tips on how to improve the process/performance are appreciated.

Hi,

I'm importing DOORS Requirements with the SPARX DOORS MDG.

Usually it's fast. Seconds and not hours. If there is a slow/bad connection to the DOORS server I've experienced problems.

Before importing the requirements I usually make sure that the DOORS Module is opened within a native connection (not via e.g. CITRIX).

I'm experimenting using DOORS *.csv and ReqIF format to streamline handling of multiple DOORS modules. With ReqIF you can also visualize the pictures in EA as Linked Documents.

Best regards,

Helmut
