Using Selection Lists

This section contains the following topics:

Select Inventory Locations from Selection Lists

The CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option panel includes Endevor inventory location specification fields. When you use name masking in an Endevor inventory location field or leave that field blank, a selection list may be returned. The DISPLAY ENV/SYS/SUBSYS LIST option, the element action option selected, and the name masked fields affect the selection lists that are returned. If a selection list is displayed, you need to make a selection from the list in order to continue your work.

To select an inventory location from a selection list Type an S to the left of location you want to select and press Enter. The value selected replaces the blank or name masked entry on the CA Endevor Quick-Edit panel. However, the panel that is returned when you press Enter depends on the information provided on the CA Endevor Quick-Edit panel. Several selection lists may appear before the CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option panel reopens with the location fields showing all selections you made from the selection lists.

If you used name masking in all the Location fields or left them all blank, then the selection lists are returned in the following order, enabling you to make a selection for each field. If you entered a complete specification for a particular location field, then the selection list for the location is skipped.

Environment Selection List
System Selection List
SubSystem Selection List
Type Selection List
Processor Group Selection List.

Note: You can Type End on the COMMAND line of the selection list to cancel the function.

Limit System and SubSystem Selection Lists

You can specify whether the Environment, System and Subsystem selection lists will appear when you do not enter explicit values in the Environment, System, or Subsystem fields on the CA Endevor Quick-Edit Option panel. However, this list option behaves differently for the Create and Generate options.

Select your preference in the List Options area of the CA Endevor Quick Edit Option panel. This option behaves as follows:

DISPLAY ENV/SYS/SUBSYS LIST

Specifies whether the Environment, System, and Subsystem selection lists will appear when the inventory location is not explictly specified. Valid values follow:

Y - Display Environment, System, and Subsystem selection lists. You must select from the selection lists until the specification is complete. Only when the location information is complete is an element selection list displayed.

N - Do not display Environment, System, and Subsystem selection lists. The default.

For the Create option, if you do not provide fully qualified Environment, System, and Subsystem names, then the Environment, System, and Subsystem Selection Lists are returned even when this field is set to N.
For the Generate option, if you did not specify fully qualified Environment, System and Subsystem names, then the Environment, System, and Subsystem Selection Lists are not returned when this field is set to N. The Element Selection List is returned based on the value in Build Using Map option.
If Build Using Map=Y, then the Element Selection List lists all the elements in all Environments, Systems, and Subsystems beginning in the specified Environment to the end of the map. If you name-masked the Environment, System, and Subsystem fields, then the list is limited to only those Environments Systems and Subsystems that match the name-mask.

If Build Using Map=N, then the Element Selection List lists all elements across all Systems and Subsystems of the specified Environment. If you name-masked the Environment, System, and Subsystem fields, then the list is limited to only those Environments, Systems, and Subsystems that match the name-mask.
