Importing ReqIf file into ProR [message #896913]

I have used IBM's DOORS product to create a schema which I exported into an ReqIf schema. I have installed ProR - Requirements Management Platform and I have been able to start the program. Unfortunately, when I attempt to follow the tutorial for using ReqIf, I cannot see how to import an existing ReqIF XML file into a working project. I see how to "import" and the file is imported, but it is just imported as "text".

Can anyone provide assistance? All I am attempting to do is make a simple change to the file, export it back into ReqIF format, and then reimport back into IBM's DOORS to validate only the changes I made are there.

Hi Bill,

You do not need to import a ReqIF file - you can simply open it. Either copy it into your workspace, or simply navigate to it by using File > Open.

Note that the file must end in .reqif.

Hope this helps!

Michael: I have performed the steps you provided and the "file" is seen as a ProP file. After the import, I attempt to open the file using the ReqIf editor and get this error:

Could not open the editor: org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xml.type.impl.XMLTypeDocumentRootImpl cannot be cast to org.eclipse.rmf.reqif10.ReqIF

Is there something else I need to install?

Hi Bill,

This error message indicates that something is wrong with the XML - there is nothing else you need to install.

Can you attach the file here? If it's proprietary, you can email it to me, or just post the first dozen lines.

Best,

- Michael

Weird... I see the "File Attachments" section (if you reply, not quick reply), but it is set to "Maximum Files Per Message: 0".

So either just paste the xml, or send it via email to michael@jastram.de.

Cheers,

Hi,

I've run into the same problem. I manually adjusted the
xml header that comes from DOORS from this:

<REQ-IF xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif"
xmlns:doors="http://www.ibm.com/rdm/doors/REQIF/xmlns/1.0"
xmlns:reqif-xhtml="http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif-xhtml"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif.xsd
reqif.xsd http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif-xhtml
reqif-xhtml.xsd">^M

to this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<REQ-IF xmlns="http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif.xsd"
xmlns:doors="http://www.ibm.com/rdm/doors/REQIF/xmlns/1.0"
xmlns:reqif-xhtml="http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif-xhtml"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSch
ema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif.xsd
http://www.omg.org/spec/ReqIF/20110401/reqif-xhtml">^M

which gets further into the load. However, other problems still
persist. I've needed to essentially clean out any of the tool extension
and spec group attributes. I can send you the output if
you'd like.

thanks,
Keith

Hi Bill,

Glad that Keith could solve your problem!

> I will let IBM know about that issue.

Just curious: How is this IBM's problem? Considering that DOORS does not yet write ReqIF (am I mistaken?), I would assume that name space issue stems from the transformation scripts? I don't have DOORS available right now, so I cannot check this myself.

Best,

- Michael
