Expected Outcome:
. Immediate Need: Copy IRS content from Dover URF ITT to Dover
. Feature Outcome: Ability to migrate full IRS set of content (including comments, attachments, status) from one project IRS to another project IRS.
Current Process:
During the life of a project "Issue Resolution Service" is used and issue records are created to manage various kinds of
information, including issues, clarifications and other [contractor] communications.
Shell wants these records to continue to exist in a cloned, as well as branched and subsequently merged project.
Use Cases:
a) General project branched to sub-contractor should retain the communications created in the general.
Problems:
a) There is no process or software capability for cloning IRS issues from one project/asset to another today.
b) IRS was not designed as a contractor communication tool
c) Even if there were, such an operation will automatically sever any links between the Issues and the iModel elements that they may reference.
Considerations:
The mechanism for cloning including B&M implies that the target context for the B&M operation already exist (was previously created). The clone, B&M process only forks the iModel. Other databases like IRS etc., are not automatically cloned today.
