Element View

View the online version of this page.

Lists the project elements within their system, subsystem, environment, and stage in a table format, and includes types and versions.

Customization of the view is saved between sessions.

You can perform the following menu actions in the Element view:

• Delete element
  Deletes an element from both the workspace and the CA Endevor SCM project in the workspace. It allows you to override CCID and Comments provided in the project definition.

• Move
  Moves an element across the CA Endevor SCM defined life cycle map.
  You can only move an element from one Environment to another if the element you are moving is in Stage 2 of the source Environment. Therefore, to move an element from Stage 1 of the Development Environment into Stage 1 of the QA Environment, you must move the element to Stage 2 in Development and then move it into Stage 1 in QA.

• Generate
  Executes a Generate Processor. Generate Processors execute automatically when an element is added to the specified Environment entry Stage for a Create or Edit action. Typically, the Generate Processor creates an executable form of the element, together with any associated outputs (such as listings).

• Sign In
  Signs in an element that was signed out for an Edit action. This action removes the signout user ID associated with the element. Signin is only available for Systems for which Signin/Signout is in effect.
  You can also use the Signin action to sign an element out to another user.

• List listing
  Queries the application for the output listing associated with the element in the specified environment and stage. Displays the requested listing as a read-only listing in the workspace using the default editor.

  Note: You can view listings only for elements that create and store the output component in their processors. For details and requirements, see the Extended Processors section.

• Browse Element
  Displays the element's current level in the editor with all the statements in the current level of an element.

  Note: This option is not valid for sourceless elements.
