CSV delta import of TVs to existing elements

[jrueting]

I try to find out how I can add new tagged values to existing elements (in this case requirements) using the CSV import. Due to some limitations in the DOORS MDG link (truncation of tagged values to 255 characters) I try to add additional tagged values of type memo to the requirements. I created a CSV output from DOORS with the full text of the incomplete tagged values. Now I need to fill the new tagged values of type memo with the full text from the CSV file. Therefore I have to modify the CSV file in that way, that during the EA import the correct requirements are updated. I have a unique identifier in each requirement which I can use as the primary key to add the correct complete text to the correct requirement. Which notation do I have to use in the EA CSV import file to define the primary key?

Hi,

would it be possible for you to export the model elements at first?

 1. Create the stereotype as gernal type and assign it to requirements.

2. Select "Preserve hirarchy" and use the elementID as the primary key.

3. Afterwards I recommend to manipulate the csv by hand within excel or any other tool.

4. Than import the csv .

That's all.

Best regards

Stefan
