• Global Type Sequencing
  • When this optional feature is enabled, API element actions (if wildcarded) and SCL element actions are executed in type sequence order defined in a sequence at the site level by the Endevor administrator.
• Multiple Entry-Stage Environments
  • The administrator now has the option of defining an environment’s entry stage. Previously, the entry stage was always stage 1.
• Dynamic Approvers
  • If the Dynamic Approvers option is enabled in the Endevor Options Table, then package approvers can add additional users as one–time approvers for a particular package while it is in the in-approval state.
• API SCL Format Action
  • This new method of building requests allows your user-written program to build and pass free-form SCL statements in a new SCL style request structure. The SCL is passed to and processed by existing Endevor batch utility programs.
• API/CSV List Destination
  • A new list package action, List Destination for API and CSV, allows you to produce a list of destinations that packages can be shipped to.
• API and CSV Utility Inventory Wildcarding
  • You can use wildcard and placeholder characters with the Comma Separated Value (CSV) utility to extract data across inventory locations.
• Type Definition Function
  • The Type Definition function is enhanced for use with the companion product Change Manager Enterprise Workbench, which provides a web interface to Endevor.
