Issue/Introduction

Since upgrading to v18.0, developers are unable to sign in elements that are signed out....a C1U0900E message is generated, with APPROVAL REQUIRED, even though we have never been set up to require approval for a signin.  

This was discovered when someone needed to sign out a program that was signed out to someone else, but it also happens when a developer attempts to sign in a program that is signed out to himself/herself.   

Environment

Release : 18.0

Component : CA Endevor Software Change Manager

Resolution

Part of the the upgrade process is to make sure that all the options you had enabled in the ENCOPTBL were carried forward to 18.0.12.  The option below if enabled allows actions to be performed without a package.

* ENHOPT ALLOW_NON_PKG_ACTIONS=(ON,00) * 

To allow the SIGNIN action without packages, then you need to set the option to:

       

                  ENHOPT ALLOW_NON_PKG_ACTIONS=(ON,16) 

Take a look at your old table and ensure that all the options you had set in a previous release are set in the current table.  Once the table has been reviewed and updated, re-assemble and re-link.
