CA Endevor Client 18.0.2

CA Endevor Client for Eclipse is a user interface for CA Endevor SCM. The 18.0.2 release includes the following enhancements:

Search for a specific element within project map

You can now add a known element from a large repository to your project and search for this element within the map. You then receive a result containing no more than this element.

Project view has new toolbar button "Search selected project map"

The button initiates Search dialog, which has more text that indicates the search is made within the project map. The result of the search is then displayed in Element View and Search Map View.

Limit Element View and Search Map View content to the elements from the project location

Performance is improved by removing processing time overhead spent refreshing unaffected locations from the map when not in use.

CA Endevor API is requested for the elements from the project location only

Ability to show what elements are currently being displayed in Element View and Search Map view.

Information bar now included in Element View and Search Map View

Includes text describing what elements were requested, including their origin.

System now prompts for sign-out when element action is blocked

  • You are now prompted to sign out an element when the current signout status prevents it from being added to CA Endevor.

  • This addresses potential confusion where the failure of add-to-project request may be caused by signout state as follows:

  • You now receive a prompt to sign out an element which is not signed out by anyone when the current status prevents add-to-project, or sequential add back operations.

  • You are informed about an element being signed out to a different user. You are then prompted to override sign out when this element status would prevents add-to-project or sequential add back operations.

  • You are able to answer 'Yes for all' in both types of prompts when performing the operation for multiple elements.

Add several known elements from project map locations to project.

  • Search for the specific elements and quickly receive a result containing only them.

  • Search selected project map dialog with comma/space/semicolon separated list of the elements.

Fixed issue where "add to project" process shows failed on search result.

Elements can now be successfully retrieved to local and added back to CA Endevor

  • When the component list is absent and an external component cannot be resolved, CA DEz / IDz displays message to suggest user to generate an element.
