How Adding/Updating an Object from Natural or Predict Affects the Signout Status

Your CA Endevor SCM administrator can enable a signout capability on a system-by-system basis. When you allow CA Endevor SCM to control an object from Natural or Predict using the Add/Update Elements action, CA Endevor SCM performs the following actions and causes these effects:

• If the element exists up the map, a fetch is performed.
  • If your CA Endevor SCM administrator has enabled Signout Upon Fetch, the fetched (source) element is signed out to you, if the element is not signed out to someone else. In addition, the target element is signed out to you.
  • If your CA Endevor SCM administrator has not enabled Signout Upon Fetch, there is no change in the signout status, and the target element is signed out to you.
• If the element does not exist up the map, a fetch is not performed.

Note: For more information, see Actions and Signout Status in the chapter "Action Processing" in the CA Endevor Software Change Manager User Guide.
