Create a New Repository

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

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

Follow these steps:

1. Click CA Endevor SCM, New Repository.

   The New CA Endevor SCM Repository dialog opens.

2. Enter the connection information in the following fields:

   Local Repository Name

   Specifies the name of the CA Endevor SCM repository in which you intend to create the project. Enter the name that you want to use.

   URL

   Specifies the location of the CA Endevor SCM Web Services host that contains the configuration files for various instances of CA Endevor SCM. 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.

   Note: 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

   Mainframe User ID

   Specifies the user ID used to log in to the CA Endevor SCM instance. Type the user ID.

   Mainframe Password

   Specifies the password for the user ID that is used to log in to the CA Endevor SCM 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. For more information, see Change Your Password.

3. Click Next.

   The New Endevor Repository wizard opens the CA Endevor SCM Configurations page. The Eclipse-Based UI queries for the available configurations on the selected Web Services instance and a list of CA Endevor SCM configurations are displayed.

4. 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.

5. Click Finish to create the defined connection and close the dialog.

   The new connection is shown in the Repository view.
