z/OS Core
The IBM z/OS core collection is part of the Red Hat® Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z® offering that brings Ansible automation to IBM Z®. This collection brings forward the possibility to manage batch jobs, perform program authorizations, run operator operations, and execute both JES and MVS commands as well as execute shell, python, and REXX scripts. It supports data set creation, searching, copying, fetching, and encoding. It provides both archive and unarchive of data sets, initializing volumes, performing backups and supports Jinja templating.
System programmers can enable pipelines to setup, tear down and deploy applications while system administrators can automate time consuming repetitive tasks inevitably freeing up their time. New z/OS users can find comfort in Ansible’s familiarity and expedite their proficiency in record time.
