SubmitSCL Operation

Web Services supports the submitSCL operation. Client requests can communicate with the CA Endevor SCM API using the CA Endevor SCM Software Control Language (SCL). With some restrictions, any valid SCL statement can be sent to the CA Endevor SCM API and the results will be returned to the client, providing full access to the repository.

Important: The SCL syntax requires one or more blank spaces before the period that ends the SCL statement.

Valid SCL statements for the submitSCL operation for Web Services are subject to certain restrictions.

• The following actions are not valid:
  • &&ACTION
  • Archive element
  • Copy element
  • List member From Archive
  • Print member From Archive
  • Restore element
  • Transfer To Archive
  • Transfer From Archive
  • Archive Package
  • Export Package
• The parameter DDNAME is generally not supported for Web Services. However, DDNAME C1PRINT is valid on List and Print actions.

  Note: The DSName dataset-name parameter is supported.

  Instead of the DDName parameter, the Add, Update, and Retrieve actions use SOAP attachments to transport data between the client and the mainframe. For more information, see To | From Attachment Clause on SCL Statement.

Note: No footprint information is stored in files retrieved from CA Endevor SCM. Temporary files written to the Web Services server are purged at the start of each new local file system command.
