How to Set Up and Perform Eclipse-Based UI Tasks

Before you can edit CA Endevor SCM elements, you must perform certain set-up tasks, including creating a repository, adding a project, and adding elements to the project. After these set-up tasks, you can edit elements, and then view generated output and the Action Summary Report. The following steps comprise this process:

The order in which you perform some activities in the Eclipse-Based UI may vary, but you can perform the following basic tasks.

  1. Connect to a Web Services host.

  2. Create a new CA Endevor SCM repository if this is the first time you start the Eclipse-Based UI. Open the New CA Endevor SCM Repository dialog and add the repository details as necessary.
    For more information, see Create a New CA Endevor SCM Repository.

  3. Create a new Project. Navigate to the Repository view, drill down to select the system, subsystem, environment, and entry stage, and right-click to create a new project.
    For more information, see Add a New Project.

  4. Add elements to the current project in the Element and Search Map views. These views also let you browse or list element listings.
    For more information, see:

  5. Edit elements added to a project as necessary.
    The edited elements are saved in the entry stage.

  6. View the contents in the element listing.

  7. View the details of the message in the CA Endevor SCM Log view as necessary. Any operation that results in a CA Endevor SCM action produces an Action Summary Report. This report is available in the CA Endevor SCM Log view.
    For more information, see CA Endevor SCM Log View.

    Note: As you perform certain operations (such as Add to project, Add to CA Endevor SCM, and Delete) in the Project, Search Map, and Element views are refreshed.
