Processing Flow

When you enter a DISPLAY or PUNCH CCDB-entity-type request, CA Endevor/DB performs the same processing sequence for the specified CCDB-entity-type as if executing under PUNCH mode with an ADD command.

• Performs a validation check of the input parameters to ensure that:
  • You are authorized to browse the type of CCDB-entity specified in the request. If you are not, the system prints an error message and disallows the transaction.
  • If you identified a specific CCDB-entity-occurrence, it must exist in the CCDB.
• There are two ways that you can use the DISPLAY command:
  • Specifying CCDB-entity-occurrence identifier clause(s). If specified, CA Endevor/DB reports the syntax for that specific occurrence. If you also specified any override clauses, the reported syntax contains the clause(s) you specified.
  • Entering an asterisk in the CCDB-entity-occurrence identifier clause(s). If you enter an asterisk in an identifier clause, or omit one or more of the identifier clauses, CA Endevor/DB reports the syntax for all CCDB-entity occurrences meeting the masking requirements. If you omit all identifier clauses, CA Endevor/DB reports the syntax for every CCDB-entity-occurrence for the CCDB-entity-type.

If you also specified any overriding clauses, the reported syntax contains the clauses you specified.

Refer to Chapter 4 for additional information on the processing flow for an ADD request for the specified CCDB-entity-type.
