Methods of Associating Natural Libraries to CA Endevor SCM Inventory Locations

Your Natural libraries must be mapped to CA Endevor SCM inventory locations using site symbols. Select one of the following methods depending on whether your Natural library names follow a naming convention:

• Direct method: If your Natural library names follow a naming convention, you can use a direct method of symbolic substitution. For more information, see Associate Natural Library Names that Follow a Naming Convention to CA Endevor SCM Inventory Locations.
• Indirect method: If your Natural Libraries, do not follow a naming convention, you can use an indirect method that uses recursive symbolic substitution. We recommend this method for sites that already have CA Endevor SCM configured. For more information, see Associate Any Natural Library Names to CA Endevor SCM Inventory Locations.

Both methods require the following symbols:

SYMNAME=#NSRCLIB,

SYMDATA='source_Natural_library'

Name of the source Natural library from which Natural objects will be moved. The symbolic uses the following CA Endevor SCM symbolics to identify the source Natural library.

• &C1SENVMNT(1,1) – first character of the environment name
• &C1SSTGNUM – stage number (1 or 2)
• &C1SSUBSYS – subsystem name

SYMNAME=#NTGTLIB,

SYMDATA='target_Natural_library'

Name of the target Natural library when the following actions are performed: delete, generate, or move. The symbolic uses the following CA Endevor SCM symbolics to identify the target Natural library.

• &C1EN(1,1) – first character of the environment name
• &C1S# – stage number (1 or 2)
• &C1SU – subsystem name
