Using Remote Build with the clearmake command

The clearmake command is the DevOps Code ClearCase® variant of the Linux® and the UNIX® system make command. Using clearmake, you can audit remote builds and trigger future build events.

About this task

During the process of building executables and load modules, the following actions are performed:
  • One or more source files that are under source control in a versioned object base (VOB) are opened, read, and sent to the Remote Build server.
  • Other files are created or updated as a result of the processes running.
An audit record indicates that the updated files are dependent on files that were read. If source files change and you reprocess the makefile, clearmake knows which derived objects need to be recompiled.
Important: If you are using auth mode 2 for both TSO Client and Remote Build features on the Windows® platform, you must define the environment variable RB_USER_HOME_DIR. This variable must be set to the home directory of the distributed user (defined in panel 1 of TSO Client).

Procedure

To use Remote Build with the clearmake command, do these steps:
  1. Create a makefile for a remote build.
  2. Run the makefile.
  3. Return derived objects to the client.
