Element View

Lists the project elements within their system, subsystem, environment, and stage in a table format, and includes types and versions.

Customization of the view is saved between sessions.

You can perform the following menu actions in the Element view:

Add to project

Performs the CA Endevor SCM Transfer action, which places a version of the element in the entry stage. The Add to project action is available in the Search Map view and the Element view. After performing this action the element is listed in the Project view.

View element

Performs the CA Endevor SCM Retrieve operation without the Signout action and opens a read-only version in the editor.

Delete element

Deletes an element from both the workspace and the CA Endevor SCM project in the workspace. It allows you to override CCID and Comments provided in the project definition.

Move

Moves an element across the CA Endevor SCMdefined life cycle map.

You can only move an element from one Environment to another if the element you are moving is in Stage 2 of the source Environment. Therefore, to move an element from Stage 1 of the Development Environment into Stage 1 of the QA Environment, you must move the element to Stage 2 in Development and then move it into Stage 1 in QA.

Generate

Executes a Generate Processor. Generate Processors execute automatically when an element is added to the specified Environment entry Stage for a Create or Edit action. Typically, the Generate Processor creates an executable form of the element, together with any associated outputs (such as listings).

Sign In

Signs in an element that was signed out for an Edit action. This action removes the signout user ID associated with the element. Signin is only available for Systems for which Signin/Signout is in effect.

You can also use the Signin action to sign an element out to another user.

List listing

Queries the application for the output listing associated with the element in the specified environment and stage. Displays the requested listing as a read-only listing in the workspace using the default editor.

Note: You can view listings only for elements that create and store the output component in their processors. For details and requirements, see the Extended Processors Guide.

Browse Element

Displays the element's current level in the editor with all the statements in the current level of an element.

Note: This option is not valid for sourceless elements.

Browse Element History

Displays the element's current level in the editor.

You can view the history of the element, which displays all statements in all levels of the element, from the base level through the current level, indicating the level at which each insertion and deletion occurred.

Note: This option is not valid for sourceless elements or elements stored in image delta or log delta formats.

Browse Element Changes

Displays the current level of an element in an ISPF browse panel showing all insertions and deletions that differ from its immediate predecessor.

Note: This option is not valid for sourceless elements or elements stored in full-image delta or log delta formats.
