General Board / Exchange between child and parent

« on: September 13, 2013, 05:23:51 pm »

Is it possible to exchange the relationship between child and parent of an element? I would like to switch a parent element and its copied child (instance of element) so that the child becomes the parent and vice versa. The background is as follows, I have a detailed diagram of a complex system and need to modulate its less abstract layers / views, "backward engineering“, if you want to give it a name.

Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Source-ID is not imported from DOORS database ?!

« on: September 13, 2013, 12:31:19 am »

I have successfully imported DOORS requirements into EA via the MDG-Link for DOORS, too. I thought that the MDG-Link would transfer every information (belonging to a certain requirement) located in the DOORS-Database but it seems that I was wrong. I imported requirements via the MDG-Link and everything went right during the process, but when I looked at the (imported) properties I realized, that the “Object Identifier” was copied and not the expected “Source –ID”, which only is traceable through the hole developing process. So the problem would be a possible inconsistence in case of changes to the original database in DOORS. This of course is a “no way- criteria” due to a possible implementation of the EA to our developing process. So my question referring to this issue is: “Why does the MDG-Link for DOORS import the “Object Identifier” and not the “Source-ID” of an requirement and how can I fix that”?
