        • Uploading compressed RELFILEs and the sample JCL

          The os390 directory (for example, in Windows®, C:\Program Files\IBM Rational\ClearCase\os390 if DevOps Code ClearCase® is installed on the C drive) contains sample JCL and compressed RELFILEs.

        • Expanding the RELFILEs into PDSs
        • Copying sample installation jobs

          Make a copy of sample installation jobs to a work data set for editing and submission.

        • Allocating and initializing SMP/E data sets

          Sample jobs to allocate SMP/E CSI and work data sets are provided.

        • Creating DDDEF entries

          This topic describes how to create DDDEF entries.

        • Performing the SMP/E RECEIVE, APPLY, and ACCEPT commands
        • Authorizing the APF library
        • Installing the z/OS® Extensions load module libraries

          • Hardware and software requirements for z/OS® Extensions features

            To install the z/OS® Extensions features, your systems need to meet these hardware and software requirements.

          • Deliverables and disk space requirements

            This topic describes the deliverables included in the z/OS® Extensions software and lists SMP/E installation information and disk space requirements.

          • Keys to variable names

            This topic provides a key to the variable names that are used in examples.

      • Configuring z/OS® Extensions

        z/OS® Extensions include basic configuration tasks required to use the z/OS Extensions features and some optional configuration tasks. Some of these options need to be configured by an administrator and some need to be configured by individual users for their client environment.

      • Using the Remote Build feature

        The Remote Build feature submits build requests from DevOps Code ClearCase® client platforms running on Windows®, Linux®, and the UNIX® system to z/OS® (MVS™ and z/OS UNIX System Services). This feature consists of both server and client components.

      • Using the TSO Client feature

        Use the TSO Client feature to perform DevOps Code ClearCase® operations on the distributed system without leaving the mainframe system environment.

      • Managing builds with impact analysis

        z/OS® Extensions provides impact analysis tools that you can use to manage COBOL, PL/I, and High Level Assembler (HLASM) builds.

      • Using the TSO Client API

        The TSO Client API enables you to perform Remote Build functionality by using a TSO Client API application. Use the TSO Client API to create your own custom TSO Client calls to a distributed system running DevOps Code ClearCase®.

      • Using the ClearCase® Repository Access Manager

        ClearCase® Repository Access Manager (CCRAM) provides a seamless interface that enables those who use IBM® Rational® Developer for System z® to access assets stored in ClearCase.

      • 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.
