  - 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.
