PM59958: Retrieve multiple Endevor elements results in pop-up fields incorrectly filled in

Rational Developer for System z 8.5

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When trying to Retrieve several elements with a single command,
  the pop-up displayed is incorrect (element name incorrect,
  through element missing, and version/level filled as it should
  not).
  This fix will allow the customer to perform the following steps:
  
  1) Select the initial element to retrieve
  2) On the Retrieve Element panel, the end user wll manually
  clear the level ? version fields (the fix will remove their
  current read only attribute)
  3) The end user can manually enter the 'Through element name'
  
  Note that the customer will not have the ability to select
  multiple elements and have the 'Through element name'
  automatically defined.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Parameters are not automatically filled in from the available
  information for the CA Endevor SCM RAM.  Additionally,
  parameters filled in for the CA Endevore Packages RAM can be
  replaced by previously entered values.
  

Problem conclusion

• Endevor client code is fixed to properly gather default
  parameter values to present to the user when using the CA
  Endevor SCM RAM.  If the user wishes to use the through field
  for an action, the user should only select the starting element
  and then fill the through field to instruct Endevor to batch the
  work.Additionally, the two check boxes on the bottom of the
  custom parameter dialog have been fixed so the state of the
  check boxes is remembered.  These boxes are "Remember the
  entered values for later" and "Continue to prompt me for the
  remaining members on this task"For the CA Endevor Packages RAM,
  the user will have to modify the CARMA preferences
  (Windows->Preferences...; Team->CARMA) and move "Property
  Values" to the top of the Custom Parameter Search Order list in
  order to provide the same fix.  This preference can be
  distributed through the Push To Client system.
