Displaying items by tag: Migration Tool

Our application has the ability to transform DOORS Tables into DNG HTML Tables within the DNG Artifact.
Also, we support the ability to transform OLE excel tables into DNG artifact HTML tables.  

Migration of History data

Ability to save DOORS object history and import it into either an attribute or initial content of a "primary text" attribute.
Possibility to make a link back to original object in case of migration without the history (recommended option).

(Currently in development) Import from specific DOORS baseline.

High Automation Level

The tool have API in order to create automation for:

• Artifact creation and mapping
• Attribute creation and mapping
• Link Type creation
• Project area & component creation
• GCM creation
• Creation of views, folders, streams and baselines
• Create User in Jazz
• Automated assignment of Group to the User

Conversions

• Rich text into attributes
• DXL Layouts into string attributes
• Ability to convert attributes into embedded artifacts (i.e. for parametrization)
• Transformations of pictures. We support png, jpeg, jpg. Due to DNG limitations, .wmf and .svg are not supported

Links

• Recreation of links within the project area
• Recreation of links within the component
• Recreation of links across project areas
• Recreation of links across components with GC context

Splitting of Data

• Split to several components 
• Split to project areas
• Split to several servers
• Split of data by view to several streams
• Stream Updates

Profiles per Each project

The solution have customizable possibilities (currently via YAML file) to set up a profile for migration of each project

Migration of Views

The solution supports migration of view (beta)
Some views are non-compatible in DNG, and we tag them

Lightning Speed

We have developed a concept how to avoid thousands/millions of calls to DNG

Example 10 000 artifacts 150 seconds

Statistics

• PA Size
• Modules size
• Number of attributes
• Number of artifacts

Validator

• checks count and data
• count object types attribute types
• views
• links

Mapping

• Object view to component stream
• Attribute harmonization
  • Possible automated cleanup of the data
• Mapping of custom object types to artifact types
• Storage of mapping per each execution
• Sandboxing  -migrate test and improve

OLE Object Handling

• Migration of OLE from attribute into primary text (merge) or as linked artifact (link to base artifact)
• Ability to migrate pictures as embedded or standalone artifacts. Linking of embedded pictures to its artifacts (as base artifact link)

Notifications

Error handling prior and after the migration

Test Management

(Planned) Test on each object with proof that the artifact was migrated from DOORS to DNG properly

Other Advanges

• Keep reference to DOORs classic
• 60 widgets available from Softacus for DNG with mainly common architecture. Widget are resolving several gaps and increase user experience in DNG
• Support for Tags,
• Handling of huge project data
• Own migration server and infrastructure for Migration
• Unicode special symbols handling
• Nested symbols handling
• Incompatibility checks
• Attributes merging
• We can recreate DXL scripts in Js Java and Python or other language if required

Technical Information

• Concurrent loading from DOORS to DNG
• Usage of internal DB during Migration, which allows flexible linking after the migration of the data
• Possibility to resume of the migration process in case of a disruption
