Emergency Operations

CA Endevor SCM can manage the following emergency operations when fixes must be applied to production code.

• Retrieving elements from production
• Making changes to elements
• Adding or updating elements into the emergency stage
• Moving elements to production

The following diagram shows emergency change procedures in a software lifecycle.

In this lifecycle, production code is retrieved from the Production stage, modified in the maintenance library, and then added back to the Emergency stage. After the changes are approved in the Emergency stage, the code is moved back to the Production stage.

If your company requires approvals to move your software code changes through the lifecycle, you must use packages to perform the moves.
