View ReqIF/RIF files
The ReqIF/RIF package that is loaded in the configuration for import, can be found in a subfolder of the project or folder where the configuration is saved. The subfolder is called exchange.
* 
You can view the content of the ReqIF/RIF file before the execution of the roundtrip configuration. Simply expand the exchange folder in the Project Explorer, and double-click the ReqIF/RIF file. The Windchill Requirements Reader will open and display the content of the selected ReqIF/RIF file. This may be used to determine whether the ReqIF/RIF file contains exactly the requirements and attributes as defined in the exchange plan.

Execute roundtrip
The last step is to execute the roundtrip. The documents from the ReqIF/RIF file will be imported to the defined data source.

Audit trail
Every roundtrip configuration has a data folder under the same parent with the name of the configuration without the file extension.
The audit trail that was created when the roundtrip is executed and saved under the configurations data folder in the subfolder called audit. This subfolder contains a subfolder for each time the configuration was executed. The name of this subfolder is composed of a time stamp and the operation type.
The audit trail contains the ReqIF/RIF file that was used for the import, plus tracking information about the settings and content of this particular operation.
