Error "item not in expected folder..." when archiving a project by using IBM Rational DOORS

Diagnosing The Problem

Log in to Rational DOORS as user Administrator

Run the database integrity checker from File > Check Integrity... from the DOORS database explorer menu. It checks to make sure that:

• Each reference from a parent item to a child item has a corresponding reference back from the child

to the parent.

• No child item is referenced as a child of two different parent items.

• Every item in the database is referenced as the child of another item.

If an item is not referenced by a parent, it (and any children it has) is not displayed in the DOORS

database explorer. This data is recovered to a Lost and Found folder.

• Every project in the database has an entry in the Project View list, which is the list DOORS uses to

generate the Project View in the database explorer.

Once the database integrity check is complete, you can use the wizard to repair any inconsistencies in the database and move or restore any recovered data.

You can also run a restricted integrity check on the contents of a selected folder or project. An integrity check on a project or folder cannot check for data that is not referenced by any other item.

It can check for:

• Missing data

• Items that are referenced by more than one parent

• Projects that are not included in the project list
