Testing your work before you merge
To reduce the amount of merging needed when you deliver your work, you should build and test the modifications in your work area. If you work in a multiple-stream project, do this especially after you rebase the stream and before you deliver your work. If you work in a single-stream project, do this before you check in your changes.
If your organization uses clearmake and omake on Windows, or clearmake on the UNIX system or Linux, you can use these DevOps Code ClearCase® build tools for your test builds; however, the build auditing and build avoidance features are available only from dynamic views.
For more information, see the DevOps Code ClearCase Guide to Building Software and the clearmake or omake reference pages in the DevOps Code ClearCase Command Reference.
