To begin using Together in conjunction with DOORS you use Together DOORSIntegration to export model information from Together to create a surrogate module in DOORS. The surrogate module is like any other DOORS formal module except that it contains data to identify individual modeling elements.
After the initial export of the Together project to DOORS, you can individually export new modeling elements you create in Together.
Note: Version 1.0 of Together DOORSIntegration supports export of model information from a Together project to DOORS. Subsequent releases will support import of DOORS formal modules into Together to create a Together modeling project.
To export a Together model to DOORS:
Start both DOORS and Together.
In Together, open the project you want to export to DOORS.
In DOORS, create a new project.
In Together, open the diagram(s) containing the modeling elements you want to export to DOORS.
In the Together Explorer, open the System - Doors Link node of the Modules tab.
Run Send to Doors using the speedmenu.
You have now created the surrogate module in DOORS, but the module is not saved. Go to DOORS and save the surrogate module. This creates a corresponding formal module in DOORS.
The export process just described can be used to send a complete model to DOORS, or just selected parts. To get an entire Together model into DOORS, you can import it from Together into DOORS.
To import an entire Together model at once:
Start a DOORSIntegration session as previously described.
With Together running as server, use DOORS' project open commands to open a Together project in DOORS. This imports the entire model and creates the surrogate module in DOORS.
Save the surrogate module to create the parallel DOORS formal module.
Once you have successfully exported model information from Together to DOORS, you can use either system to find information on the other system whenever you run a DOORSIntegration session. See Navigating between DOORS and Together.
As you create new modeling elements in Together, you will want to send them to the DOORS to update the surrogate module for the project. You can export elements such as use cases, actors, classes and interfaces. If you add members to classes or method signatures to interfaces you can also export these.
To export new model elements as you create them:
Open the relevant projects in Together and DOORS.
Start a DOORSIntegration session as previously described.
In Together, select the model element in the appropriate diagram.
In the Modules tab of the Explorer, run Send to Doors. The element is added to the surrogate module in DOORS.
Save the changes in DOORS.
