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.
Using the parameterized build sample scripts
You can use the parameterized build sample scripts from the ClearCase® or Windows® explorer, UNIX® command line, TSO Client, or Rational® Developer for System z® or Eclipse platforms.
Using parameterized build with Rational® Developer for System z®
You can use parameterized build from IBM® Rational® Developer for System z® or Eclipse platforms.
