DevOps Code ClearCase build concepts

DevOps Code ClearCase® supports makefile based building of software systems and provides a software build environment closely resembling that of the make program. make was developed for UNIX systems and has been ported to other operating systems. You can use files controlled by ClearCase to build software, and use native make programs, third-party build utilities, own build programs of your company, or the ClearCase build tools clearmake and clearaudit.

The clearmake build tool provides compatibility with other make variants, along with powerful enhancements:

The clearaudit build tool provides build auditing and creation of bill-of-materials documentation.

clearmake is intended for use in dynamic views. You can use it in a snapshot view, but the features that distinguish them from ordinary make programs (build avoidance, build auditing, derived object sharing, and so on) are not enabled in a snapshot view or an automatic view.

clearaudit requires a dynamic view context to be executed. clearaudit cannot be executed in a snapshot view, a web view, or an automatic view.
