Rational Developer for System z

CA Endevor Package Editor

The CA Endevor Package Editor allows users to edit Endevor packages from within Rational® Developer for System z®.
The CA Endevor Package Editor user interface supports a subset of the SCL language to allow users to edit CA Endevor package files and SCL files, so long as the file contains valid package commands.
Note: This differs from the CA Endevor Package RAM, which supports only files with the .pck extension.
Files containing commands that are not valid package commands will display a parse error when opened with the CA Endevor Package Editor.
When a package is open in the CA Endevor Package Editor, that package is being edited. Changes made to a package in the Endevor repository through the CA Endevor Package Editor are saved directly to the repository.
Note: This differs from opening a CA Endevor element in the CA Endevor RAM, where the element is opened in Browse, or Read-only, mode. Changes made to the element are not saved directly to the repository.

The Package Editor is divided into three parts, the Command Table, the Source Preview Panel, and the Command Controls. It is marked with the Endevor Package Editor icon, Endevor Package Editor icon.

Version Compatibility

If Rational Developer for System z is connected to an 8.0.1 server or earlier, then you will be unable to edit CA Endevor packages. This is because CA Endevor packages will not be listed in the CARMA Repositories view, and there will be no way to open those packages in the Package Editor.
