Installing and using z/OS® Extensions
z/OS® Extensions is a component of IBM® Rational® ClearCase® that enables mainframe users to perform select DevOps Code ClearCase operations. z/OS Extensions include Remote Build, TSO Client, and ClearCase RAM (CCRAM).
Automating builds with parameterized build scripts
Parameterized build is a script-based, sample-driven approach to automating Remote Build scripts. It provides you with sample scripts that you can use as a starting point for developing your own approach to automating Remote Build scripts. These sample scripts are provided as-is and require customization and alteration before they can be used in your z/OS® Extensions environment.
Configuring parameterized build on Windows®
The topics in this section explain how to set up the parameterized build sample scripts to run on a Windows® server and how to set up a Windows ClearCase® client to run the scripts.
Configuring the build project VOB

Configuring the build project VOB

Before you begin

Previous step: Setting up the Windows environment

About this task

Parameterized build provides an infrastructure for you to create life cycle maps and define build parameters for each stage in the life cycle. A life cycle map is a conceptual infrastructure for helping you to think through and organize the various build parameters you will need to define for a project VOB. You can define, for example, different build parameters for the test, QA, and production stages of a development life cycle.

On the Windows platform, there are two approaches for configuring the build project VOB:

Creating an attribute-driven configuration. This approach uses ClearCase type attributes to configure a project VOB for parameterized build.
Creating a table-driven configuration. This approach uses a two-column, tab-delimited file format to configure a project VOB.
