To add a filter for Endevor

Host Explorer filters are used to define a set of resources, such as mainframe or local files and databases, to view in the Host Explorer view.

1. In Host Explorer, right-click Endevor and select Add Filter. The New Endevor Filter dialog box appears.

2. Complete the fields by typing directly in each field or selecting from the drop-down menu. As the fields populate, subsequent menus display only relevant options. The asterisk ( * ) wildcard character is supported in the Element field.

3. Click OK. CA Endevor® -controlled dataset members satisfying the filter criteria appear in the Host Explorer view.

To check out a dataset member from Endevor

1. Right-click the Endevor dataset member you want to check out and select Checkout. The Checkout dialog box appears.

2. Type or browse for the dataset into which you want to place the checked out member. If you click Browse, the Dataset Selection dialog box appears. Select the host, enter the filter, and click List to find datasets matching the filter. Then select the dataset into which you want to place the member and click OK.

3. If you want the PDS member to have a different name than the Endevor member, replace the prepopulated name in the PDS member field.

4. Use the Endevor Options check boxes to specify whether the checked out element is to be signed out (locked) if there is no existing lock, whether the checked out element is to replace an existing element, and whether the signout should override any existing lock.

5. Click OK.
