Project View
The Project view lists CA Endevor SCM elements at the entry stage for the selected project and also corresponding Local elements residing in the Eclipse project. This view is a hierarchical display in which you can drill down through CA Endevor SCM systems, subsystems, environment, and stages to elements along with Local elements in Local branch. CA Endevor SCM elements and their CA Endevor SCM types are combined into a single file name in the format element.type.
The Project view consists of Project nodes representing specific projects. Each Project node then consists of CA Endevor SCM branch containing CA Endevor SCM elements, and Local branch containing Local elements.
The Project View has extended functionality that involves a contextual Endevor Package. This package is set for the entire project and once it is assigned to the "Build Package Actions" in the contextual menu, it will be enabled and the user can build/update the SCL for a selected Endevor Action. When the SCL is updated, the contextual package can be updated.
When you select a project in any of the following views, these views populate the data relevant to the selected project.
-
Project view
-
Search Map view
-
Elements view
-
Properties view
-
Selecting a view opens the views, only if the Search Map view, Elements view, or Properties view is already open in the main window.
-
The Refresh button will only refresh selected projects. You do not need to refresh the project repository before this action, as it will be done automatically if the repository was not already refreshed.
Note: You can create an element in the Project View when a project node is selected or when one of the entry stage elements is selected.
To create an element
-
Right-click on the project node.
-
Click Create Element from the pop-up menu.
The Create Element dialog opens. -
Fill in the dialog and click OK.
Note: Do not use the Add To CA Endevor SCM Action under Team to add the Created element into CA Endevor SCM. To Add the created file keep the option Add file without editing enabled or follow the Edit an Element process to initiate the Add to CA Endevor SCM Action
-
Element Name
Specifies the Element Name
To convert Element Names to upper case, select "Upper Case Element Name." This setting is stored. -
Type
Specifies an element type. Select a type from the combo box. A default type description and corresponding processor group is displayed. -
Processor Group
Specifies the processor group. Select a processor group from the combo box. -
Override CCID/COMMENT
Allows you to update CCID and comments from the project. -
CCID
Specifies the Change Control Identifier (CCID) associated with this request. Enter a 1- to 12-character value that conforms to CCID naming conventions. A System's definition can require that you specify a CCID for any element action against any element associated with that System. If a CCID is required at the System level and you do not enter a CCID, an Action Prompt panel opens where you can add the CCID. -
Comment
Specifies the comments associated with this request.
Limits: 1-50 characters that conform to the naming conventions. A system's definition can require you to specify a comment. If a comment is required an action prompt appears. -
Create element from file
Creates an element with the content from a selected file.
You can also create an element from a selected file without opening it for editing. This is useful for uploading files without the need to open them.
You can perform the following actions in Project view:
-
Open Element
Performs the CA Endevor SCM Retrieve operand without the Signout action and opens the element for editing, using the default editor for this element's file extension as defined in Eclipse file associations. This action is only available in Project 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.
-
Browse Element History
Displays the element's current level in the editor.
You can view the history of the element, which displays all statements in all levels of the element, from the base level through the current level, indicating the level at which each insertion and deletion occurred.Note: This option is not valid for sourceless elements or elements stored in image delta or log delta formats.
-
Browse Element Changes
Displays the current level of an element in an ISPF browse panel showing all insertions and deletions that differ from its immediate predecessor.Note: This option is not valid for sourceless elements or elements stored in full-image delta or log delta formats.
-
Browse Element Summary
Displays a summary of the Element.Note: This option is not valid for sourceless elements or elements stored in full-image delta or log delta formats.
-
Summary of Element Levels
Displays an overview of the element levels. -
Browse element master
Displays the element Master Control File Information in an editor. -
Browse component
Displays the component list for element's current level in Editor. -
Browse component history
Displays the component list for element's current level in an ISPF Browse panel, which shows all component information for all levels of the element, from the base level through the current level. The display shows the level at which each insertion or deletion occurred. -
Browse component changes
Display the component list for element's current level in an ISPF browse panel, which shows all the inserts and deletions made to the component information for the element's current level. -
Browse Component Summary
Displays a summary of the components. -
Summary of Component Levels
Displays an overview of the component levels. -
List Components
Displays the component list. -
Build package action
Involves a contextual Endevor Package with extended functionality. This package is set for the entire project and once it is assigned, the Build Package Actions are located in the contextual menu and will be enabled. The user can build/update the SCL for a selected Endevor action. Once the SCL is updated, the Contextual package can by updated.Note: The stand alone Move Action will only be generated by the SCL of this action for selected elements.
