Packages

Packages are a set of SCL requests to perform CA Endevor SCM actions on elements. Packages enable you to group specific actions so they can be maintained and tracked as a single unit, establish formal approval procedures to ensure data integrity through modifications, and centralize specific action groups so you can see them across environments and reuse them. You create or modify a package by defining the package attributes and creating the SCL requests. Package attributes are as follows:

Package types are standard or emergency
Packages can be sharable or not sharable
Packages are promotion Packages or non-promotion packages
Backout enabled or not backout enabled

After you create or modify a package, you perform a cast package action to begin the review process. If the package does not need to be approved, the cast package action changes the package status to Approved. If the package needs approval, the cast package action changes the package status to In-Approval.

For more information about packages, see the CA Endevor Software Change Manager Packages Guide.

Note: The CA Endevor Integration for the Natural Environment administrator can customize the CA Endevor Integration for the Natural Environment Main Menu to remove certain options. If the Packages option is not on the menu, contact your local administrator for further information.
