starteam Questions

Hi everyone,

I am trying to understand the StarTeam checkin model.

A colleague told me that you can check a file into StarTeam even though it has not been first checked out. Is this true and, if so, how is this different than adding a new file to StarTeam? Is StarTeam using an unreserved checkout model?

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

ClearCase includes a build facility ClearMake, which is a wrapper for UNIX make I believe.

Does StarTeam have a similar built-in capability of performing builds?

Example: Could StarTeam be used to combine *.dll files into a single *.exe file? Or would some other program that contained build capabilities need to be ordered -- in addition to StarTeam -- in order to be able to perform such a build?
