Add a New Project
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 SCM system, subsystem, element, and type.
To add a new project, follow these steps:
-
Expand the repository tree in the Repository view to the system, subsystem, environment, and entry stage for the project.
-
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 SCM.
-
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.
