Common Product and Data Architecture- A steady migration of similarity

- Intention is to remove differences between Harvest and Endevor so the look and feel is “virtually” identical

- Enterprise Workbench plays a key role in providing the future interface to both products

-Watch for…

-Name changes!

- Architectural approaches

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 14

Concurrent Action Processing Option-Will dramatically increase batch Endevor element action throughput!

- It’s like breaking up a big JOB into small ones

- You define the number of concurrent action processors

- Improves batch, package and CM Enterprise Workbench throughput

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 15

Concurrent Action Processing Option- Actions performed concurrently within type

- Copy Members

-Macros

- Programs

- Links

-When a type is “complete” then thenext type is processed according to your type sequence definition

- Action execution messages will be returned to initial JOB for consolidated reporting

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 16

Promotion Packages

- Packages that can be reused without reediting the SCL within the package

- Two objectives:

-Once a package is built, it can be executed as many times necessary to complete the move to production

- Provide an audit trail of all executions of the package- ISPF displays

- Package reports

- API extracts

- CSV extracts

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 17

Promotion Packages

How it works:

- Package contains only MOVE actions

- After initial package execution:

- APPROVE – EXECUTE

- APPROVE – EXECUTE

- (Ad Nauseum)

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 18

Promotion Packages

- 2nd – “Nth” Execution

- After execution of a promotion package- Creates history records for previous package activity

- Updates package actions to reflect current element location (remember – this is only for MOVE actions)

- Performs normal CAST processing

-Next execution- Backout members deleted

- Actions executed

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 19

Age-Driven Element Versioning

- Element VV.LL automatic rollover

- Rather than retaining versions and then consolidating at set levels, will instead automatically increment version number!- 1.98 => 1.99 => 2.00

-Delta retention based on age- Administrators will be able to tell Endevor how long to

retain delta information- 2 years, 5 years, etc.

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 20

More CSV Enhancements

- List Element Change Summary

- Provide ability to list change level information from the Endevor API (needed by CMEW)

- Provide easy way for users to get at the historical change level data via the CSV utility

- LIST SMF Data

- Provide the ability to parse data logged on the SMF log tape for Endevor into CSV format for reporting

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 21

Usability Enhancements

- Allow Endevor ISPF environment field to be wildcarded

- This is one of the most popular DARS – to be able to search/list elements across environments that are not mapped.

-Will actually be available first in CMEW 7.1

Copyright ©2006 CA. All rights reserved. All trademarks, trade names, services marks and logos referenced herein belong to their respective companies. 22

More Usability Enhancements

- Allow “Where USERID” filter on ISPF panels

- Provide the ability to create selection lists in either Endevor or Quick Edit based on provided userid.

-Will not be reflected in SCL actions.

- The filter will support a single userid or wildcarded query, not a list.

- Introduce “horizontal scrolling”

- All new columns available- And sortable!
