Associate Natural Libraries that Conform to a Naming Standard to CA Endevor SCM Inventory Locations

You can map your Natural libraries to CA Endevor SCM subsystems using a direct method of symbolic substitution, provided you use a standard naming convention for your Natural libraries. The following method lets you define your Natural libraries to CA Endevor SCM locations, using standard CA Endevor SCM location symbolics.

To associate Natural libraries that conform to a naming standard to CA Endevor SCM Inventory Locations

Define the symbolics #NTGTLIB and #NSRCLIB, to assign Natural libraries that conform to a standard naming convention, using one of the formats shown next--either the environment, stage number and subsystem, or the subsystem only.

• Define the symbolics using the environment, stage number and subsystem:

  $ESYMBOL SYMNAME=#NTGTLIB,       
  

       SYMDATA='&&C1EN(1,1)&&C1S#&&C1SU'                  
  

  $ESYMBOL SYMNAME=#NSRCLIB,                               
  

       SYMDATA='&&C1SENVMNT(1,1)&&C1SSTGNUM&&C1SSUBSYS'   
  

• Define the symbolics using the subsystem only:

  $ESYMBOL SYMNAME=#NTGTLIB,          
  

       SYMDATA='&&C1SU'                        
  

  $ESYMBOL SYMNAME=#NSRCLIB,                                
  

       SYMDATA='&&C1SSUBSYS'         
  

Depending upon which format you code, the names of the Natural libraries are assigned directly by the symbol values using either the first character of environment name with the stage number and subsystem name, or using the subsystem name alone. No additional site symbols are required.

Example: Associate Natural Libraries to CA Endevor SCM Inventory Locations Using Direct Symbolic Substitution

This example uses a direct method of symbolic substitution to associate Natural library names to CA Endevor SCM locations and assumes that the site's lifecycle is configured as follows:

• It has two environments (QA and PRD) and four stages (two stages in each environment) in the following order:

  QA/1 -> QA/2 -> PRD/1 -> PRD/2

• The subsystem name is NSUB for all stages.

Define the following site symbolics in your site symbol table (double ampersands are required in the site symbol table):

$ESYMBOL SYMNAME=#NTGTLIB,                                  

     SYMDATA='&&C1EN(1,1)&&C1S#&&C1SU'               

$ESYMBOL SYMNAME=#NSRCLIB,                                  

     SYMDATA='&&C1SENVMNT(1,1)&&C1SSTGNUM&&C1SSUBSYS'

Therefore, the symbolics resolve to the following libraries:

• At QA stage 1, &#NTGTLIB and &#NSRCLIB resolve to Q1NSUB as your Natural library name.
• At QA stage 2, &#NTGTLIB and &#NSRCLIB resolve to Q2NSUB as your Natural library name.
• At PRD stage 1, &#NTGTLIB and &#NSRCLIB resolve to P1NSUB as your Natural library name.
• At PRD stage 2, &#NTGTLIB and &#NSRCLIB resolve to P2NSUB as your Natural library name.
