Mapping Contexts

Edit online

You can use the mapping contexts feature for exchanging requirements between IBM® Engineering Requirements Management DOORS® Next and IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS .

About this task

You can use the mapping contexts feature to automatically map identical attribute or data types from DOORS into a single instance of each identical attribute or data type. This feature helps in removing or reducing type duplication when you import requirements in DOORS Next. You can create mapping contexts and use the contexts while importing or exporting ReqIF files.

Note: Feature artifact types are not included in the automatic mapping functionality.
