In SCM, there are different ways to load a components but I am bit confused with the "Load from a load rule file" option https://jazz.net/library/article/1016 I gone through this link and got to know how to load the loadrule file using "Load from a load rule file" option. Can anyone give me a brief note on "Load from a load rule file" and in what circumstances this option will give hand?

You have a good illustration of potential use cases in "Loading with Load Rules in Rational Team Concert 4.0 and later"
Load rules are a way of describing what is loaded from a repository workspace and where it should be loaded.
It could take several steps to load a repository workspace exactly as you would like in the sandbox and to repeat those steps can be error prone for yourself and other team members.
However, if the layout information is captured in load rules, they can be easily re-used by other team members when loading their repository workspace into their sandbox.
They can also be used in builds.
Another use case (in this thread): "How to maintain folder structure while selectively loading folders within SCM Component in RTC"
Once that is all done, you can capture 'how' you loaded everything in a load rule file so that in the future you can simply load from a load rule file instead of re-doing the steps above.
Navigate to"Window" --> "Preferences" --> "Team " --> "Jazz Source Control" --> "Sandboxes". Click on the sandbox that represents your eclipse workspace (or which ever sandbox you just loaded everything into) and select the"Generate Load Rules...". In the dialog you can choose where you want to save the load rule file and click"Generate".
