Installing and using z/OS® Extensions
z/OS® Extensions is a component of IBM® Rational® ClearCase® that enables mainframe users to perform select DevOps Code ClearCase operations. z/OS Extensions include Remote Build, TSO Client, and ClearCase RAM (CCRAM).
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.
Using the parameterized build sample scripts
You can use the parameterized build sample scripts from the ClearCase® or Windows® explorer, UNIX® command line, TSO Client, or Rational® Developer for System z® or Eclipse platforms.
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.
Submitting a link job
Use the Submit Link Job parameterized build request to submit a link job to the mainframe.

Submitting a link job

Use the Submit Link Job parameterized build request to submit a link job to the mainframe.

Before you begin

The LNKDECK type attribute must be configured for your view elements before you can use the Submit Link Job action. See Configuring the view elements for more information.

About this task

The Submit Link Job menu item provides a way to submit a link job that can be used to link multiple source modules into one linking load module.

Procedure

To submit a Submit Link Job request, do these steps:

Open a VOB whose elements have been enabled for parameterized build.
Right-click a COBOL program and then click Submit Link Job.
A command window opens with debug messages showing the status of the build request.
When the job has completed successfully, press any key to exit the command window.

Results

This process saves the result of the load module into a load library defined by the variable $loadlib within the attribute ZCCENV. The output log yourfile.cbl_linkjob.log, where yourfile.cbl is the name of your source file, is located in the VOB directory.
