Configuring parameterized build on UNIX®

The topics in this section explain how to set up the parameterized build sample scripts to run on a UNIX® server and how to set up a UNIX® ClearCase® client to run the scripts.

Before you begin

Before setting up parameterized build, you need to have installed and configured the Remote Build server. See the following topics for more information:

You also need to understand the rccbuild command and build scripts. See the following topics for more information:

In preparation for the configuration tasks listed below, you need to gather a list of parameterized build users, their UNIX® user IDs, and their TSO user IDs. This information is required for setting up the UNIX® environment.

About this task

The following procedure describes an approach to configuring and using parameterized build. Each step in the following procedure contains links to more information. Many of the steps also include sample scripts and programs that you can use as a starting point for creating your own parameterized build operations.

Procedure

  1. Setting up the UNIX environment.
  2. Designing a project life cycle map.
  3. Defining variables for the view elements.
  4. Customizing the build scripts.
  5. Setting up a test environment.
  6. Starting and stopping the Remote Build server.

What to do next

After you have configured parameterized build, ClearCase® users can use the build scripts to submit their z/OS® artifacts to the mainframe from the UNIX® command line as described in Using parameterized build from the UNIX command line.
