Create partitions if you want to send data to users of
a different Rational® DOORS® database to be viewed or
edited and then returned to you. If you include data that will be
edited by the users in the other database, the data is locked in your
database until it is returned and rejoined, or recovered.
You use three different files to partition, synchronize, and return
data. They all have the
.par file extension.
Note: You
can only send data to a Rational DOORS database that has the same
major version number. For example, you can send data from a version
9.3.0.3 database to a version 9.2.0.1 database but not to a version
8.3.0 database.
