In Endeavor there are options ELEMENT and PROCESSOR GROUP in Display. When entered into Element option it is giving System, Subsystem, Type . What does they mean, Can any one explain with example.




Can any one just brief me the steps to make changes for a particular module and then send back it to production region through Endeavor.



Thanks in advance.

Hi ,

In endevor Environement,System,Subsystem,Element,Type,Stage1 etc.. options will be available.
Environement is like SOW,SOP,PRD etc..
System is a header group of all the programs.
System is divided into subsystems like auto,rest,fire etc.. accordingly.
Element is the name of the module.
Type is it whether it is cobol,jcl,lke etc...
Stage is whether it is in 1 or else 2 .

Pavan you can change the module and can only upload into test environment like SOW usually. But you can not move the modules from one environment to other. Only some particular who have permissions only can do this.

Regards,
Mike.

Hi Pavan,
For example if you want to make changes to MSP1280 program which is already in production lib.

1. First u need to rerieve the Element, which will change the status to retrieved and retrieved id will be copied.
SCL:
RETRIEVE ELEMENT 'MSP1280'
VERSION 01 LEVEL 04
FROM ENVIRONMENT 'PRD' SYSTEM 'X1FCAR' SUBSYSTEM 'STD'
TYPE 'CBO' STAGE P
TO DSNAME 'SVGKK1.LIB.RETRIEVE'
OPTIONS CCID 'AIS13244' COMMENTS "ARFEE CHNGS" NOSEARCH


2. While retrieving you will be giving PDS where you need to store the retrieved element('SVGKK1.LIB.RETRIEVE).

3. then do changes to element and Move To Test reqion.

SCL:
ADD ELEMENT 'MSP1280'
FROM DSNAME 'SVBXB1.TEST.JCL'
TO ENVIRONMENT 'TST' SYSTEM 'X1FCAR' SUBSYSTEM 'STD'
TYPE 'CBO'
OPTIONS CCID 'AIS13244' COMMENTS "MSP1280 PGMS" UPDATE
PROC GROUP 'COSNCL00'
.

4. Then move to Q region..

MOVE ELEMENT 'MSP1280'
FROM ENVIRONMENT 'TST' SYSTEM 'X1FCAR' SUBSYSTEM 'STD'
TYPE 'CBO' STAGE T
OPTIONS CCID 'AIS13244' COMMENTS "CHNGS" JUMP
.
MOVE ELEMENT 'MSP1280'
FROM ENVIRONMENT 'TST' SYSTEM 'X1FCAR' SUBSYSTEM 'STD'
TYPE 'CBO' STAGE S
OPTIONS CCID 'AIS13244' COMMENTS "CHNGS" JUMP
.

5. From Q , client or On-site co-ordinator's will be moving the elements.Bcz we don't have acces to move Production.


And about your clarifications about SYSTEM,SUB SYSTEM, TYPE

------------------- Display Elements/Component Lists ------------------------
OPTION ===>

blank - Display selection list B - Browse element current level
S - Display summary of levels C - Display changes current level
M - Display element master info H - Display history current level

Enter SX, BX, CX or HX to display component list information

LIST OPTIONS:
FROM ENDEVOR: DISPLAY PROC GRP NAME ===> Y (Y/N)
ENVIRONMENT ===> DISPLAY LIST ===> (Y/N)
SYSTEM ===> WHERE CCID EQ ===>
SUBSYSTEM ===> WHERE PROC GRP EQ ===>
ELEMENT ===> DISPLAY SYS/SBS LIST ===> N (Y/N)
TYPE ===> BUILD USING MAP ===> N (Y/N)
STAGE ===> T - TEST S - SYST

In Endevor each Environment divided into System and sub stem wise. So while entering to search a element you have to give Environment ,System,Subsystem,element name and type(CBL-cobol bacth ,CBO-COBOL online ,CPY-copy books and map-BMS maps) and stage also . If you don't know SYSTEM,SUBSYSTEM,TYPE AND STAGE leave it and enter Environment and Element name it will search in all Systems,Subsystems,types and Stages under that environment.


Let me know if i am wrong and any clarifications...


thanks,
Naidu

Hello,

CCID is compulsory. That is task id or change request number or defect number or service request number.

These are very basic things must know..!!

Yes CCID can be given as REFRESH only in DEV region. Above this region CCID is very much needed to track the request or billability icon_biggrin.gif .
