A project must exist before you can make any changes to elements in Endevor. Before creating a project, first define a repository to the Eclipse-Based UI that identifies the Endevor instance on the host machine where the elements are located.

Use the following procedure to create a repository and establish a connection to an Endevor instance on the host machine.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Endevor, New Repository.
    The New Endevor Repository dialog opens.
  2. Enter the connection information in the following fields:
    1. Local Repository Name
      Specifies the name of the Endevor repository in which you intend to create the project. Enter the name that you want to use.
    2. URL

      Specifies the location of the Endevor Web Services host that contains the configuration files for various instances of Endevor. Select the required URL from the drop-down list. These values persist from previous sessions. If you do not see any URLs in the drop-down list, type the supported protocol, host name, and appropriate port details in this field.

      Note:
      • The protocols that are supported are http and https.
      • The protocol and the port are defined in the Web Services configuration.
        Use the following format:
        <protocol>://<Name of the Web Services host>:<Port number>
        Example:
        https://Web_Services_host_name:nnnn
  3. Click next. The credentials dialog opens. Enter the credentials as requested in the following fields:
    1. User ID - Specifies the user ID used to log in to the Endevor instance. Type the user ID.
    2. Password - Specifies the password for the user ID that is used to log in to the Endevor instance. Enter the password.

      Note: When the password for your account changes on the mainframe, you must change the password in the Eclipse-Based UI to match it.
  4. Select the Save Password checkbox if you want the password to be stored with the repository for later use.
    Click ok to proceed.
  5. The New Endevor Repository wizard opens the Endevor Configurations page. The Eclipse-Based UI queries for the available configurations on the selected Web Services instance, and a list of Endevor configurations are displayed.
  6. Select the configuration that you want to use as your repository.
    The Configuration details field shows the details of the selected configuration as defined by the Web Services administrator.
  7. (Optional) Click Finish to create the defined connection without filtering options.
    The new connection is shown in the Repository view.
  8. Click Next to specify filtering options for Packages.
    The Endevor Filtering Options page opens.
  9. Specify filter options for the package name and status.
