Endevor Eclipse plugin: Generate Element in Project Location Greyed Out

Products

• Endevor

Issue/Introduction

Developer is trying to perform a generate on a program to place a copy of the program in their sandbox using Endevor Eclipse UI. The developer can’t change the option to “Generate Element in Project Location” per below:

Environment

Endevor V19

Endevor Eclipse UI plugin 19.0.1

Cause

The element view is the result of REPOSITORY SEARCH from "Repository View".  any element from this element view has no target project, that is why the "Generate element in project location" option has been greyed out. 

Resolution

Create project from selected Endevor inventory location, in the project view, perform the "search selected project map" using this icon 

  from the top right corner of the project view to create a list of elements.  

"Generate element in project location" option is available for any element from the project view MAP SEARCH.

For element up to the map, choose "Generate element in project location"  and "Copyback" to copy element back to entry stage (project level).
