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

1. Expand the repository tree in the Repository view to the system, subsystem, environment, and entry stage for the project.
2. Right-click the stage name and select Add Project.

   Note: The Add Project action is unavailable for stages that are not defined as entry stages in CA Endevor SCM.

   The Add Project wizard opens.

3. Enter a project name, an optional comment, an optional CCID, and any filter patterns.
4. 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.

   Notes:

   • The Search Map view and Element view display the contents of the lifecycle as defined in the project. You can make modifications to the project only in the Project view.

The Add New Project action is disables if you try to add the element in the same locations in both the Element View and Search Map View.

Repository

Displays the name of the CA Endevor SCM repository in which you are creating the project. The repository of an existing project cannot be changed.

Name

Defines the name of the project you are creating in Eclipse-Based UI. Name of an existing project cannot be changed.

Comment

Defines a comment about this project.

CCID

(Optional, unless preference is set to required.) Defines the Change Control Identifier, which lets you relate a CCID to an action, or one activity to another.

Element Filter Pattern

Defines a filter pattern for CA Endevor SCM elements. You can use a combination of wildcard (*) and placeholder (? or %) characters.

Type Filter Pattern

Defines a filter pattern for CA Endevor SCM types. You can use a combination of wildcard (*) and placeholder (? or %) characters.

Environment Filter Pattern

Displays the filter pattern for the CA Endevor SCM environment. Because a project is defined based on a single stage in a particular environment, the filter pattern cannot be edited.

Stage Filter Pattern

Displays the filter pattern for the CA Endevor SCM stage. Because a project is defined based on the entry stage in a particular environment, the filter pattern cannot be edited.
