Hello Sreedhar and welcome to the forusm,

I'd suggest you talk with the system support people for your organization and ask if this is possible where you are and if so, how to do this.

"How to access. . ." is quite site-specific and not everything is available on all systems.

You can use a component of IBM Rational ClearCase called TSO Client (TSOC) to access ClearCase artifacts on the distributed side. TSO Client is an ISPF application that runs on TSO. You can perform operation such as "check out" and "check in" as well as other common operations.

TSOC comes with ClearCase, but, of course, it needs to be installed and configured. The default name for the library that contains the command to run TSOC is RCC.version.TSCRX. version is V2005a in the latest ClearCase major release (version 7). You need to check with your administrator as he may have installed it under some other PDS name or decided not to install it at all.

To invoke TSO Client go to the option 6 panel from the main ISPF menu and type the following (or your equivalent PDS reference for the example listed) on the command line:

ex 'RCC.V2005A.TSCRX(RCCTSOR)'

I hope this helps.
