DX Support for CodeBeamer Imports

Overview

This article confirms that Data Exchange (DX) successfully supports ReqIF imports from CodeBeamer into Jama Connect, based on real-world testing.

1. Can DX Import ReqIF Files from CodeBeamer?

✔ Yes, DX has been tested and successfully imports CodeBeamer-generated ReqIF files into Jama Connect.
✔ Confirmed working migration cases:

• Garmin import test: 8 spec types, 1185 spec objects, 2-3 fields per spec object.

• Agile Robots migration: No reported issues.

2. What Are the Key Considerations When Importing from CodeBeamer?

✔ Ensure the ReqIF file structure aligns with Jama Connect’s expected format.
✔ Verify that field mappings in CodeBeamer match Jama's data model (spec types, attributes, relationships).
✔ Test imports with a small subset of data before full-scale migration.

3. Best Practices for a Successful CodeBeamer to Jama Migration

✅ Use DX’s preview mode to validate data mappings before final import.
✅ Confirm that all required fields in Jama have corresponding fields in CodeBeamer.
✅ Check for any missing relationships or attachments post-import.
✅ Perform a post-import review to ensure data integrity.

4. Conclusion

• DX successfully supports CodeBeamer ReqIF imports into Jama Connect.

• Several successful migration cases confirm compatibility.

• Following best practices ensures smooth data transfer with minimal issues.
