Considerations When Adding/Updating an Object from Natural or Predict

Before you allow CA Endevor SCM to control an object from Natural or Predict using the Add/Update Elements action, consider the following information to ensure your success.

Important! If you do not follow these considerations and continue adding or updating the element, the Add/Update Elements action will fail.

• Make sure that an element with the same name is not already in the target entry stage. If so, you should first contact the current element owner, or your CA Endevor SCM administrator, to discuss the most appropriate action. Then, consider these workarounds:
  • Wait until the element has been moved out of the entry stage, and then add the member.
  • Add the member using the UPDATE IF PRESENT option.
• Make sure that the element corresponding to the object you want to add is signed out to you. If the element is signed out to another person on your team, you should first contact the current element owner, or your CA Endevor SCM administrator, to see if they can sign the element out to you. Then, consider this workaround:

  Add the object using the UPDATE IF PRESENT option combined with the OVERRIDE SIGNOUT option.

  Note: If your CA Endevor SCM administrator has restricted permissions for the OVERRIDE SIGNOUT option, you may not be able to use the option.
