ReqIF Import sample App

This sample app shows an example of how to import ReqIF documents inside of Aras Innovator. The import creates Requirement Documents and child Requirements within Aras Innovator. The package also includes an example for importing to TechDocs as well.

We encourage importing and hosting your Reqiurements to RE, where they can be easily connected to all other parts of the platform. In additon, we've added a quick sample showing how you could utilize a similar process to import to TechDocs as well. This one is hidden from most users and is an example of how to achieve a similar output in TDF.

The importer supports 2 formats:

• reqif
• reqifz (zip with other referenced files)

As this is a sample application, feel free to extend the methods as necessary to meet your needs. The main methods and flow are:

• RE (Button) -> reqif_importFile (Javascript) -> reqif_parseFile (Server)
• TD (Button) -> reqif_importFile_TDF (Javascript) -> reqif_parseFile_TDF (Server)

DISCLAIMER: We have tested this sample importer with few ReqIF outputs from Requirement engineering authoring tool, there is no guarantee that your ReqIf files will work directly with the default mapping. If your reqif files doesn't import, please check modify the mapping into the parser method to fit with the model of your File. By default the unique identifier is ReqIF.ChapterName
