31 Version 15.0 Selective Backout Capability Gold-Star DAR! Selective Backout extends CA Endevor SCM s recovery capability by enabling the back-out of individual element actions within an executed Package When authorized, it provides the ability to restore the outputs (executables, object modules, data base request modules etc.) associated with the selected Package element actions, back to their prior state Reduce Production Downtime! Faster Recovery! 31 CA Endevor SCM Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Copyright 2011 CA. All rights reserved.

40 DARS

41 DARS Internal Process Driven by Agile development methodology Product backlog stores description, rating, priorities No more black holes Categorized by requirements All WISH-LIST DARS reviewed, combined when appropriate Several DARS may be represented Align with customer requirements and strategic direction Posted for VOTING (NEW!) User community POLLS OPEN / POLLS closed notification Authentication will be required One vote per company Results will be posted when polls are closed 41 CA Endevor SCM Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Copyright 2011 CA. All rights reserved.

42 DARS External Process Opening a DAR Submit request via Support Online User groups should no longer submit New guidelines on required details We have a template Prompts for specific, problem oriented information We need the what and why - not the how Level 1 will lead enforcement 42 CA Endevor SCM Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Copyright 2011 CA. All rights reserved.

43 DARS The questions: 1. What is the business problem or business requirement the requestor is trying to resolve? 2. Briefly describe the product enhancement (i.e. DAR), how it would resolve the problem, and the requestor s implementation vision 3. List and provide details for the importance rating : i.e. on a scale of 1 3 how important is this enhancement to the business: 1 = nice to have { helpful; minimal impact to business; currently using workaround} 2 = important {medium impact to business; workaround would need to be developed; resource savings /efficiencies would be realized} 3 = critical {visible / highly visible impact to the business; significant value add would be realized} 4. Is the customer willing to formally help develop and beta test this new functionality / feature? 43 CA Endevor SCM Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Copyright 2011 CA. All rights reserved.

44 DARS Example: 1. Business Requirement: Expedite the existing application change management process (faster time to production) 2. Product Enhancement: More granularity in type sequencing; Add the "PROCESSOR GROUP" to Type Sequencing 3. Level #2 Importance: Currently our developers need to create, schedule, and validate separate packages to ensure the Online elements (TYPE=COBOL; PROC GRP=COBCICS) are moved into Production ahead of the Batch elements (TYPE=COBOL; PROC GRP=COBBATCH); if we had the ability to sequence by processor group, the entire process would be automated and we could take advantage of the CAP feature in r12 thus resulting in significant time savings for the installation team 4. Development Partner / Beta Test: Customer has agreed to formally test the enhancement 44 CA Endevor SCM Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow Copyright 2011 CA. All rights reserved.

45 Development Partnership

46 development partnership Agile Scrum development methodology Live Demonstrations / End of Sprint Reviews (currently 4 week sprints) Selected sites will be solicited for: Overall strategic direction of product Participation during feature design, review and certification processes We ve already begun: CA Endevor SCM v16 feature specification reviews Interested?
