=TITLE Modify Library... Menu Item
=INCLUDE Overview Ref_copy_def
=INCLUDE Overview Using_libraries
The Modify Library... menu item is used to modify the
attributes of one or more libraries:
o It establishes or removes the connection between
the current CMS library and its reference copy
directory.
o It establishes the file revision time.
The reference copy directory cannot be a CMS library.
Modify Library does not add files to or delete files
from a reference copy directory. Once you establish a
reference copy directory for a library, subsequent
transactions that create new element generations on the
main line of descent also update the reference copy
directory (provided the element also has the reference
copy attribute).
Use the following steps to display a library's
attributes:
1. Click on the library name.
2. Pull down the View menu.
3. Choose the Expand submenu.
4. Choose the Attributes menu item.

and commented on by other team members.
The generation can then be accepted, rejected, or the
review canceled. To display pending reviews, do the
following:
1. Pull down the View menu.
2. Choose the Review submenu.
You can also then pull down the View menu item again and

2. Pull down the View menu.
3. Pull down the Expand submenu.
4. Choose the Children menu item.
In the Review view, "children" are defined as the
review comments associated with the given generation.
Typically, a developer will replace a reservation,
thus creating a new generation, which is then marked
for review. Project members examine the new generation
and add review comments. One developer is usually
responsible for the generation; that developer
assimilates the various comments and accepts or rejects
the generation. If the generation is rejected, the
developer may reserve the generation to correct the
problems, and then accept the generation.

=TITLE Set ACL... Menu Item
Choose the Set ACL... menu item to manipulate the access
control list (ACL) on various objects in the library. An
ACL consists of access control entries (ACEs) that grant
or deny access to a command or other object to specified
users.
Generally, there are two ways in which you can use ACLs
on objects:
o To control and restrict access to commands
For example, you can create an ACL specifying certain
users who are not allowed to use certain commands, or
other users who are allowed to use only certain commands.
o To control and restrict access to OTHER objects
(elements, groups, classes, the element list,
the group list, the class list, library history,
and library attributes)
For example, you can create an ACL specifying certain
users who are not allowed to insert or modify a
particular element.
When there is no ACL on a command or other object, access
to the command or other object is unrestricted.
Assigning an ACL to an object limits access strictly to
the specified user or users.
The use of ACLs could possibly cause unintended
restrictions. You should fully understand the composition
of both VMS and CMS ACLs before using CMS ACLs. See the
"Guide to VAX DEC/Code Management System" for information
on using ACLs.

=TITLE Object Field
Fill in the Object field with the name of one or more
objects whose ACLs are to be manipulated. Wildcards and a

The object name depends on the object type. For example,
if the object type is Class, the object name must be the
name of a class in the CMS library. The same principle
applies to elements and groups.
If the object type is LIBRARY, the Object field must
contain one or more of the following keywords:
ELEMENT_LIST
CLASS_LIST
GROUP_LIST
HISTORY
LIBRARY_ATTRIBUTES
These keywords can be abbreviated; wildcards are not
allowed.
The object can also be the name of a CMS command.

=TITLE ACEs Box
One or more access control entries (ACEs) comprise an
ACL. You can use two types of ACLs in CMS: Identifier
ACEs and Action ACEs.
o Identifier ACEs control which users can perform
which CMS operations on a specified object.
o Action ACEs define CMS events and specify actions
to be taken based on these events.
This Help entry describes Identifier ACEs; see the "Guide
to VAX DEC/Code Management" for more information on
action ACEs.
Fill in the ACEs box with one or more ACEs. Identifier
ACEs must have the following format:
(IDENTIFIER=identifier[,OPTIONS=options][,ACCESS=access])
For example, (ID=PROJ_LEADER, ACCESS=MODIFY+DELETE).
This ACE indicates that both the modify and delete
operations are allowed for the user holding the
PROJ_LEADER identifier. To specify multiple ACEs,
enclose the ACEs in parentheses. For example:
((ID=JONES,ACCESS=CONTROL+EXECUTE),(ID=BOB,ACCESS=FETCH))
See the "Guide to VAX DEC/Code Management System" for
information on ACLs.

The replace transaction transfers a file from your default directory to the current CMS library, thus creating a new generation. The number of the new generation is the number of its predecessor with the rightmost level number increased by 1. For example, if you reserved generation 1A1, CMS would create generation 1A2 when you replaced it. Replace checks for other current reservations and concurrent replacements of the element, and whether you are replacing another user's reservation. If any of these situations occur, CMS prompts whether you want to proceed with the transaction. If you execute the transaction, CMS records it as an unusual occurrence.

=TITLE Element Field =INCLUDE Overview Using_Elements Fill in the Element field with the name of the object or objects you want annotated. The object can be an element name, a group name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by commas. If you specify a group name, CMS annotates each element in the group. If you use wildcards, CMS produces one annotated listing file for each matching element. By default, CMS annotates the most recent generation on the main line of descent of each element. If you want to annotate a specific generation of the element, you must also specify the generation number in the Generation field.

=TITLE Output File Field Fill in the Output File field with the name of a file to which CMS should write the annotated output. If you do not specify a file name in the Output File field, CMS creates a file with the element name and the file type .ANN in your default directory. You can also choose the Appended option; this option appends the output to the existing file. You may annotate multiple elements by using wildcards, a comma list, or a group name; however, if you do not also specify wildcards in the output file, CMS creates successive versions of the file.
A atb
=TITLE Appended Button Click on the Appended button to control whether CMS appends the history and source file listing to an existing file or creates a new file. If you choose Appended and the Output File does not exist, CMS creates a new file. If you do not provide an output file specification, CMS searches your default directory for a file with the element file name and the file type .ANN.

Menu Item =INCLUDE M M_M Ct_mi =INCLUDE M M_M Ct_mi Ct_gr =INCLUDE M M_M Ct_mi Cc_cl Choose the Create Element... menu item to bring up a dialog box, enabling you to input attributes and other options for the element you are creating. The create element transaction creates the first generation of a new element. It does this by moving the input file from a VMS directory into a CMS library. By default, CMS searches for the file in your current default directory; you can direct CMS to use a file with a different name or in a different directory by choosing the Input File option. After the element is created, CMS deletes all versions of the input file from the specified location unless you turn off the Delete Input Files or turn on the Reserve New Element options.

=TITLE Reference Copy Button =INCLUDE Overview Ref_copy_def Click on the Reference Copy button to direct CMS to maintain a reference copy of the element. You must have previously created a reference copy directory. CMS creates a reference copy for the new element and updates the element's reference copy file in the reference copy directory whenever you create a new main line generation of the element. When CMS places a file in the reference copy directory, it also deletes any earlier versions of that file in the reference copy directory. The reference copy attribute is inherited from the library; that is, if a reference copy directory is established for the library, the attribute is also enabled for new elements by default.

=TITLE Mark New Generations for Review Button =INCLUDE M M_M Rw_mi Click on the Mark new generations for review button to direct CMS to mark new new generations of the element for review. New generations of that element are marked for review only if the reserved generation was either rejected or has a review pending.
