Is it possible to extract IBM Rational DOORS data by using Visual Basic?

Question & Answer


Question

How can you extract data from an IBM DOORS database?

Cause

Using Visual Basic there does not appear to be a method to extract data by using Open Database Connectivity.

Answer

The IBM Rational DOORS database server uses proprietary protocols to handle data files.

There are functions that you can use through DOORS to import and export data for use in other applications; however, there is currently no method to use another application to extract information from a DOORS database.
