Cast a Package

Some CA Endevor SCM packages must be reviewed and approved before being executed. Casting a package is the first step in the package review process.

To cast a package

  1. After creating or modifying a package, return to the Build Package SCL Menu screen and press PF5 (Cast). If you are modifying an already existing package, you may also press PF5 (Cast) while viewing the Modify Package screen.
  2. If the cast is not successful, you may press PF12 (Info) to view the API Message Report, which has the Package Cast Report appended to it. You can then correct any invalid aspects of the package's SCL (as reported in the Cast Report) and re-cast the package.

When you cast a package that requires approval, CA Endevor SCM changes its status to IN-APPROVAL. When you cast a package that does not require approval, CA Endevor SCM changes its status to APPROVED. After a package has been cast, it can be approved and then executed.
