Issue/Introduction

Introduction: 

One of our users had changed his userid and has a lot of elements checked out on his old user id. He wants to avoid overriding the signout every time he adds the element back to Endevor.  

 

Question:

Is there a way to avoid having to override the signout all the time?

 

Environment: 

All supported version of CA Endevor SCM

 

Answer: 

Use the SIGNIN Function.

- Go to the Foreground option menu, and then go to option 8  SIGNIN  

- On  the SIGNIN screen, set up the From Location 

- In the ACTION OPTIONS,   Override the Signout and specify the new userid in the SIGNOUT TO field

- In the LIST OPTIONS, specify BUILD USING MAP to Y and the old user id in the WHERE SIGNOUT EQ field 

 

 

 ------------------------------ SIGNIN ELEMENTS ------------------------------

 OPTION  ===>                                                                 

                                ELEMENT DISPLAY OPTIONS:                      

    blank - Element list          S - Summary   B - Browse   H - History      

    SI - Sign-in element          M - Master    C - Changes                   

                                                                              

 FROM LOCATION:                         ACTION OPTIONS:                       

   ENVIRONMENT ===> env                   OVERRIDE SIGNOUT ===> Y (Y/N)       

   SYSTEM      ===> system                SIGNOUT TO       ===> newusrid       

   SUBSYSTEM   ===> subsys                                                   

   ELEMENT     ===>                     LIST OPTIONS:                         

   TYPE        ===>                       DISPLAY LIST       ===> Y (Y/N)     

   STAGE       ===> 1   1 - E1S1          APPLY LIST FILTERS ===> N (Y/N)     

                        2 - E1S2          BUILD USING MAP    ===> Y (Y/N)     

                                          WHERE SIGNOUT EQ   ===> oldusrid     

 

- This will bring up a selection list of everything signed out to the old user id.

- Type  si next to the elements and they will get signed out to the new user id.
