Add a New Project

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 CA Endevor system, subsystem, element, and type.

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 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.

    Click Finish.
    The project is created in the Project view. It contains only the elements permitted by the filters you defined. These elements are also displayed in the Element view and Search Map view.

    Note: 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.
