Getting Started Using the Software › Name Masking

Name Masking

To help you more easily find information and process requests, you can use name masking. By substituting a name with the asterisk (*) wildcard character, a character with the percent (%) sign placeholder, or by using both together, it is much faster and easier to find information and process requests.

You can use name masks for the following CA Endevor SCM items:

• Object/Element names
• Environment, system, subsystem, and stage names within FROM clauses

Note: Natural name masking conventions are honored for the Object field on the Natural Programming Object Add screen. The Natural name masking convention utilizes the question mark symbol (?) in place of the percent sign (%) as a placeholder character.
