Signout Entities

Use this option to signout an entity to a user or CCID explicitly. When an entity is signed out to a user or a CCID, only that user or a user working under the CCID (if signed out to a CCID) can update that entity.

To use this option, follow these steps:

  1. Specify option 2 on the Signin/Signout Functions submenu (NDVRU100). Optionally, identify the entity descriptor to be Signed out and the user or CCID to be Signed out to. You can define the entity descriptor uniquely by filling in the name, type, and version of the corresponding entity. Alternatively, leave any or all of these fields blank (and pick an entity or entities from the resulting List screen). Only entities not previously Signed out (and therefore eligible) will be listed. The user or CCID can be filled in on the Detail screen as well.

    Press Enter.

  2. When CA Endevor/DB obtains the entity name (from the List screen) it returns the Signin/Signout Detail screen (NDVRM110) for each item selected from the List screen.
  3. When CA Endevor/DB obtains the entity name from the List screen or direct specification on the submenu), it returns the Signin/Signout Detail screen (NDVRM110), filled in with as much identifying information as you supplied on the Signin/Signout Functions submenu.

    Fill in (or overtype) the entity name, type, and version; CCID; or user as necessary. Add any comments desired, then press Enter to Signout the entity. If the entity does not exist in the CCDB, the request will be rejected.
