Metadata Synchronization Support
The synchronization process supports metadata changes in Endevor and the synchronization of the following file based metadata:
| Metadata name | Description | Sample value |
| ContentType | The synchronized Type in AccuRev. Text or Ptext or Binary | Text |
| Component VVLL | the component's version and level number | 0105 |
| Element Name | BBANK10P | |
| Element Type | COBOL | |
| Element VVLL | the element's version and level number | 0100 |
| Endevor Environment | SMPLPROD | |
| Endevor Subsystem | BANKDEMO | |
| Endevor System | MFISYS | |
| Generate Date | Last generation date | 16/11/15 |
| Generate Time | Last generation time | 04:02:00 |
| Generate User | Last user who has generated the file | MFIXXX |
| Last Action CCID | SYNCDEMO | |
| Last Action Comment | SYNC DEMONSTRATION | |
| Last Action Date | 16/11/15 | |
| Last Action Name | SIGNIN | |
| Last Action RC | Last action return code | 00000 |
| Last Action Time | 04:03:01 | |
| Last Action User | MFIXXX | |
| Nosource | Is true, if no source is associated to the element in Endevor | false |
| Processor Group | CICS | |
| Processor RC | Return code of the processor | 00004 |
| ReadOnly | Is true, if the file is configured to be read-only in AccuRev. This value is a result of a configuration rule. | false |
| Signout User | Contains only a user value, if the element is signed-out | MFIXXX |
| Stage ID | P | |
| Stage Name | PROD | |
| Stage Number | 2 | |
| Update Date | 16/11/15 | |
| Update Time | 04:03:01 |
In addition the following environment, stage, system or type specific metadata are synchronized to AccuRev:
| Metadata name | Description | Sample value |
| Extension | The element extension from Endevor (not the extension configured in Enterprise Sync) | CBL |
| Processor Group Name | List of valid Processor Groups | CICS, CICSSP, CLENBL |
| Record Length | Valid record length | 00080 |
| Text/Binary | The content type in Endevor: T or B | T |
Some metadata are required by Enterprise Sync functions, for example:
- Creating files in AccuRev with the required file extension
- Validating the record length of a file edited in Enterprise Developer mainframe projects.
- Offering a selection field for valid Processor Groups when promoting files to a gated stream.
The metadata are managed in AccuRev as stream properties. The file specific metadata are stored in the same stream where the file exists.
Enterprise Sync related project metadata are also stored in the corresponding stream.
All other metadata are stored as stream properties in the root stream.
Most of the metadata are displayed in the Enterprise Developer's Property View when selecting a file in the Team Developer perspective which is linked to AccuRev.
Although AccuRev file metadata are not synchronized to Endevor, Enterprise Sync supports accessing these metadata in Enterprise Developer.
The Properties view displays the following AccuRev metadata:
| Metadata name | Description | Sample value |
| Element-ID | This is a unique identifier for an AccuRev resource within its depot | 388 |
| Element Type | Describes the content type of the resource in AccuRev. The valid values for the properties are TEXT, PTEXT or BINARY. | PTEXT |
| Is Project shared with AccuRev | Whether the corresponding Eclipse project is shared with AccuRev. Valid values are true or false | 00080 |
| Pathname | Describes the location of an AccuRev resource. | \.\COBOL\BBANK10P.cbl |
| Status | File statuses in AccuRev are for example: backed or modified . | (backed) |
| Stream | The (backed) stream name of an AccuRev resource | BANKDEMO_TEST |
| Stream Version | The stream version of an AccuRev resource | 2 |
| Version | The AccuRev Version name which is a concatenation of Stream and Stream Version | BANKDEMO_TEST/2 |
