Using the parameterized build sample scripts from the ClearCase or Windows Explorer
Using the parameterized build sample scripts, you can submit your z/OS® files for compiling, linking, or uploading to the mainframe from the ClearCase® Explorer or Windows® Explorer.
Before you begin
- A ClearCase administrator must configure parameterized build. See Configuring parameterized build on Windows for instructions.
- After parameterized build has been configured, you need to install the parameterized build menu items into the ClearCase Explorer or Windows Explorer. See Installing parameterized build menu items for instructions.
- The Remote Build server must be activated. See Starting and stopping the Remote Build server for instructions.
Note: The parameterized build sample scripts represent one approach
to automating Remote Build operations. The scripts need to be customized
to suit the needs of your environment. If your administrator has altered
the scripts, the instructions for using them might need to be altered
as well.
About this task
Note: If you do not see any of these menu items on the
