Endevor for Application Developers

This course prepares your application developers to fully understand the concepts and facilities of Computer Associates MVS based Endevor change management system and to be able to manipulate all types of application inventory managed in Endevor and promote them through the Client’s site source code life cycle. A site visit is necessary in order to gather the necessary information to customize the presentation to reflect the installation and customizations that were done with Endevor at the client's site.
