Add a New Project in Eclipse Help

When you want to change any CA Endevor element or related groups of elements, you must add a new project to the Project view so that you can implement the changes in your Eclipse-Based UI environment. Use the Add Project wizard to add new projects. The Add Project wizard lets you create a new project containing an element collection of related changes. It also lets you define filters to narrow the number of elements included in your project based on a system, subsystem, element, and type.

When you want to change any CA Endevor SCM element or related groups of elements, you must add a new project to the Project view so that you can implement the changes in your Eclipse-Based UI environment. Use the Add Project wizard to add new projects. The Add Project wizard lets you create a new project containing an element collection of related changes. It also lets you define filters to narrow the number of elements included in your project based on a CA Endevor system, subsystem, element, and type.

To add a new project, follow these steps:

  1. Expand the repository tree in the Repository view to the system, subsystem, environment, and entry stage for the project.
  2. Right-click the stage name and select Add Project.

    The Add Project wizard opens.

    Note:

    The Add Project action is unavailable for stages that are not defined as entry stages in CA Endevor.

  3. Enter a project name, an optional comment, an optional CCID, and any filter patterns.
  4. Click Finish.

    The project is created in the Project view.

    Note:
    • It contains only the elements permitted by the filters you defined.
    • These elements are also displayed in the Element view and Search Map view.
    • The Add New Project action is disabled if you try to add the element in the same locations in both the Element View and Search Map View.
  • Repository
    Displays the name of the CA Endevor repository in which you are creating the project. The repository of an existing project cannot be changed.
  • Name
    Defines the name of the project you are creating in Eclipse-Based UI. Name of an existing project cannot be changed.
  • Comment
    Defines a comment about this project.
  • CCID
    (Optional, unless preference is set to required.) Defines the Change Control Identifier, which lets you relate a CCID to an action, or one activity to another.
  • Element Filter Pattern
    Defines a filter pattern for CA Endevor elements. You can use a combination of wildcard (*) and placeholder (? or %) characters.
  • Type Filter Pattern
    Defines a filter pattern for CA Endevor types. You can use a combination of wildcard (*) and placeholder (? or %) characters.
  • Environment Filter Pattern
    Displays the filter pattern for the CA Endevor environment. Because a project is defined based on a single stage in a particular environment, the filter pattern cannot be edited.
  • Stage Filter Pattern
    Displays the filter pattern for the CA Endevor stage. Because a project is defined based on the entry stage in a particular environment, the filter pattern cannot be edited.
