MDG Link Doors fails with error ExportDoorsData.xml not found

[Chris_EA]

Hello everyone,

we are trying to use the MDGLink to update doors objects to our Enterprise Architect model. The import fails all the time with the message mentioned below, which I got from the log file.

EA15.2, 1560
MDGLink 3.0.301
DOORS 9.7

Does anyone know the root cause of this issue or can support me in analyzing it?
Thank you very much

I seem to remember some other bug report about that DOORS importer here recently. Maybe you try a search (good luck with that). Other than that: report a bug in any case.

Personally I have used DOORS with EA but using a self-made importer since the existing one was not flexible to suit our needs. Required some scripting on both sides, DOORS and EA.
