Version 1.3.0

Notes

  • New module

    • ims_ddl

      • The IMS Data Definition utility (DFS3ID00) utility writes the metadata for your application programs (PSBs) and databases definitions to the IMS Catalog records and the runtime blocks to the staging directory dataset.

  • Bug fixes and enhancements

    • Added new member dfsdf_member in the ims_catalog_populate and ims_catalog_purge modules. The DFSDFxxx member is in the IMS.PROCLIB data set where the CATALOG section is defined.

  • Documentation updates

    • Minor updates to compression parameter in the ims_acbgen module where PRECOMP,POSTCOMP, in any combination, cause the required in-place compression. The choices are not mutually exclusive – PRECOMP or POSTCOMP or PRECOMP,POSTCOMP can be used.

  • Improved test and ansible-sanity coverage.

  • Subset of the test cases were updated to support for Ansible 2.15.

  • Additional support for test cases in ims_catalog_populate and ims_catalog_purge modules to support dfsdf_member parameter.

  • Source type() was replaced by isinstance() in the code for gen utilities since ansible-core 2.16 supports Python 3.12 and that version deprecated type() function.

  • This update also has updated prerequisites for Ansible 2.14 or later and ZOAU 1.2.2 or later but prior to version 1.3.
