Convert DOR to LAMP

Understanding DOR and LAMP file formats

DOR files are typically associated with the DOORS Requirements Management software by IBM. These files store structured requirements data, often used in engineering and software development projects to manage and track requirements throughout the project lifecycle.

LAMP files are less common and can refer to different formats depending on the context. In some engineering and simulation environments, LAMP files are used to store lighting analysis and modeling parameters. It is important to confirm the specific software or context in which the LAMP file is used, as the format may vary.

How to convert DOR to LAMP files

Direct conversion from DOR to LAMP is not natively supported by most software, as these formats serve different purposes and are used in different applications. However, you can follow a two-step process:

1. Export data from DOR: Use IBM DOORS to export the requirements data into a more common format such as CSV or XML. This can be done via File → Export → CSV or File → Export → XML.
2. Import or convert to LAMP: Use the target software that supports LAMP files to import the exported data. Many LAMP-compatible applications allow importing from CSV or XML, after which you can save or export the data as a LAMP file.

Recommended software for conversion

IBM DOORS is the best tool for exporting DOR files. For the LAMP format, use the specific application that utilizes LAMP files (such as lighting analysis or simulation software). If you need a generic converter, AnyConv or Zamzar can handle CSV/XML conversions, but you will need the LAMP-compatible software for the final step.

Summary

While there is no direct DOR to LAMP converter, exporting from DOORS and importing into the relevant LAMP software is the most reliable method. Always verify the LAMP file requirements with your target application.
