In ReqIF-Import more information about options for imported ReqIF-FIle

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Behaviour of DOORS ReqIF-Import is not user-friendly. It leads the user to wrong assumptions.

Two things:

Supplier is not getting a report telling that this newly imported e.g. data could not be merged in mode 'Lock data'.

You can even use even the same ReqIF-Definition.

Further dialog about 'ReqIF Definition Imports' the column for 'Merge Status' is indicating 'Required'!

This is in my opinion wrong in case 'Lock data'. It should be 'Not Possible'.

Button for 'Merge' is active and can be started.

After starting Merge no Report appears that merge is not possible or that nothing done.

-> No information again.

It tells: 'Completed'.


Conclusion: A supplier has no knowledge about ReqIF-Content and shall identify manufacturer's mistake during creation of data. And then this supplier has to teach the manufacturer how to create a correct ReqIF-File.
