How Transferring an Element Works

The transfer action migrates the specified objects from the From Environment to the To Environment. In addition, CA Endevor SCM performs the following actions and causes these effects:

• Determines whether the element is signed out to you. If the element is signed out to someone else, you must set the OVERRIDE SIGNOUT option to Y to transfer the element.

  Note: Your CA Endevor SCM administrator must set up permissions for you to use the OVERRIDE SIGNOUT option.

• Updates the Master Control File (MCF) for the element based on the options specified as part of the transfer.
• Updates the CCID and Comment fields for the element with the information provided on the Transfer screen.

Note: As part of the transfer function, the signout can be manipulated using the RETAIN SIGNOUT, SIGNOUT TO, and OVERRIDE SIGNOUT options.
