Element Action Statements

Element action statements operate against an element or a group of elements. The element actions consist of the following:

• ADD-Puts a member under CA Endevor SCM control from an external data set.
• ARCHIVE-Writes the current version of an element to a sequential file (or archive data set).
• COPY-Copies an element from an archive data set to a data set external to CA Endevor SCM.
• DELETE-Erases base and delta forms of an element and removes related information from a master control file or component list.
• GENERATE-Creates an executable form of an element.
• LIST-Creates a list of elements or members that meet specific selection criteria.
• MOVE-Moves elements between stages, within or across environments.
• PRINT-Prints element or member information.
• RESTORE-Restores elements to CA Endevor SCM from an archive data set.
• RETRIEVE-Copies elements from CA Endevor SCM to an external data set.
• SIGNIN-Removes the user signout associated with an element.
• TRANSFER-Transfers an element from one location to another: CA Endevor SCM to CA Endevor SCM, CA Endevor SCM to an archive data set, or archive data set to CA Endevor SCM.
• UPDATE-Updates an element from an external data set.
• VALIDATE-Checks to make sure that elements were generated correctly, no synchronization errors are detected, and that all the components exist and are valid.
