Move an Element

To move an element from one inventory location (environment, stage) to the next location on a map route, you use the Move Elements action.

To move an element

1. Access the CA Endevor Integration for the Natural Environment Main Menu.

   Note: For more information, see Start a User Session.

2. Select either the Foreground or Batch processing option and press Enter.

   The Foreground Processing Menu or the Batch Processing Menu opens.

3. Select an object type (Natural programming object, Error message text, DDM, or Predict object) and the move action type (M) and press Enter.

   The move interface (for the object type you selected) opens.

4. Complete the following fields:

   Sync

   Enter Y (Yes) or N (No) to indicate whether you want the MOVE action performed when the base level of the element at the source location is different from the current level of the element at the target. When you enter Y, CA Endevor SCM creates a "sync" level at the target that reflects the differences between the base level at the source location and the current level at the target. The move fails if these levels are different and you have specified SYNC = N.

   Important! You must specify SYNC = Y when moving to a location where the out-of-sync condition exists. If the element does not exist at the target of the move, the SYNC=Y option searches up the map for the element and fetches (copies back) the element to the target and creates a sync level at the target. If you do not want this to happen, you must set the DO_NOT_SYNC_AT_TARGET=ON option in the optional features table ENCOPTBL.

   With History

   Enter Y (Yes) or N (No) to indicate whether you want to move the element with history. When you move the element without history, CA Endevor SCM searches through the element levels at the source location to find a matching level at the target location. CA Endevor SCM then compares the two and creates a new level at the target location that reflects the differences.

   Signout To

   Enter the TSO user ID of the person at the target location for which you want to sign out the element. If the RETAIN SIGNOUT option is set to Y, you cannot use this option.

   Delete from Element

   Enter Y (Yes) or N (No) to indicate whether you want CA Endevor SCM to delete the elements at the source location after moving them.

   Important! If you enter N, you must specify SYNC = Y for any subsequent moves of this element.

5. Choose one of the following steps.
   1. To move elements from a Move Selection list, set the Select List option to Y, enter the information for the action, and press Enter.
   2. The Move Selection screen opens, letting you select the elements you want to move by entering an X to the left of an object.
   3. To move elements without a selection list, set the Select List option to N, enter the information for the action, and press Enter.

      In Foreground mode, an Action Confirmation window opens telling you how many elements have been selected for moving. Press Enter to submit the move requests.

6. In Foreground mode, CA Endevor Integration for the Natural Environment interfaces with CA Endevor SCM to move the selected elements to the next location on a map route.

   In Batch mode, press PF5 from the Batch Processing Menu to submit the requests for batch processing.
