Pre-release

Version 1.4.0-beta.2

Bug fixes and enhancements
- Modules
  - zos_copy
    - introduced an updated creation policy referred to as precedence rules
      that if dest_data_set is set, it will take precedence. If
      dest is an empty data set, the empty data set will be written with the
      expectation its attributes satisfy the copy. If no precedent rule
      has been exercised, dest will be created with the same attributes of
      src.
    - introduced new computation capabilities that if dest is a nonexistent
      data set, the attributes assigned will depend on the type of src. If
      src is a USS file, dest will have a Fixed Block (FB) record format
      and the remaining attributes will be computed. If src is binary,
      dest will have a Fixed Block (FB) record format with a record length
      of 80, block size of 32760, and the remaining attributes will be
      computed.
    - enhanced the force option when force=true and the remote file or
      data set dest`` is NOT empty, the destwill be deleted and recreated with thesrcdata set attributes, otherwise it will be recreated with thedest` data set attributes.
    - was enhanced for when src is a directory and ends with "/",
      the contents of it will be copied into the root of dest. It it doesn't
      end with "/", the directory itself will be copied.
    - option dest_dataset has been deprecated and removed in favor
      of the new option dest_data_set.
    - fixes a bug that when a directory is copied from the controller to the
      managed node and a mode is set, the mode is applied to the directory
      on the managed node. If the directory being copied contains files and
      mode is set, mode will only be applied to the files being copied not the
      pre-existing files.
    - fixes a bug that did not create a data set on the specified volume.
    - fixes a bug where a number of attributes were not an option when using
      dest_data_set.
    - fixes a bug where options were not defined in the module
      argument spec that will result in error when running ansible-core
      v2.11 and using options force or mode.
  - zos_operator
    - enhanced to allow for MVS operator SET command, SET is
      equivalent to the abbreviated T command.
  - zos_mount
    - fixed option tag_ccsid to correctly allow for type int.
  - module_utils
    - jobs.py - fixes a utility used by module zos_job_output that would
      truncate the DD content.
- Documentation
  - Review version 1.4.0-beta.1 release notes for additional content.
Deprecated or removed
- zos_copy module option destination_dataset has been renamed to
  dest_data_set.
  - Review version 1.4.0-beta.1 release notes for additional content.

v1.3.5

release-v1.3.5

Version 1.3.5

What's New

Bug Fixes
- Modules
  - zos_ssh connection plugin was updated to correct a bug in Ansible that
    would result in playbook task retries overriding the SSH connection
    retries. This is resolved by renaming the zos_ssh option
    retries to reconnection_retries. The update addresses users of
    ansible-core v2.9 which continues to use retries and users of
    ansible-core v2.11 or later which uses reconnection_retries. This
    also resolves a bug in the connection that referenced a deprecated
    constant.
  - zos_job_output fixes a bug that returned all ddname's when a specific
    ddname was provided. Now a specific ddname can be returned and all others
    ignored.
  - zos_copy fixes a bug that would not copy subdirectories. If the source
    is a directory with sub directories, all sub directories will now be copied.

v1.3.3

78c9626

release-v1.3.3

Version 1.3.3

What's New

Bug Fixes
- Modules
  - zos_copy was updated to correct deletion of all temporary files and
    unwarranted deletes.
    - When the module would complete, a cleanup routine did not take into
      account that other processes had open temporary files and thus would
      error when trying to remove them.
    - When the module would copy a directory (source) from USS to another
      USS directory (destination), any files currently in the destination
      would be deleted.
      The modules behavior has changed such that files are no longer deleted
      unless the force option is set to true. When force=true,
      copying files or a directory to a USS destination will continue if it
      encounters existing files or directories and overwrite any
      corresponding files.
  - zos_job_query was updated to correct a boolean condition that always
    evaluated to "CANCELLED".
    - When querying jobs that are either CANCELLED or have FAILED,
      they were always treated as CANCELLED.

Pre-release

Version 1.4.0-beta.1

What's New

Modules
- zos_mount can manage mount operations for a
  z/OS UNIX System Services (USS) file system data set.
Plugins
- zos_ssh connection plugin has been removed from this release and is no
  longer a dependency for the zos_ping module.
Bug fixes and enhancements
- Modules
  - zos_ping was enhanced to remove the need for the zos_ssh
    connection plugin dependency.
  - zos_copy
    - was enhanced to support the ansible.builtin.ssh connection options;
      for further reference refer to the SSH plugin_ documentation.
    - was enhanced to take into account the record length when the
      source is a USS file and the destination is a data set with a record
      length. This is done by inspecting the destination data set attributes
      and using these attributes to create a new data set.
    - was updated with the capabilities to define destination data sets from
      within the zos_copy module. In the case where you are copying to
      data set destination that does not exist, you can now do so using the
      new zos_copy module option destination_dataset.
  - zos_fetch was enhanced to support the ansible.builtin.ssh
    connection options; for further reference refer to the
    SSH plugin_ documentation.
  - zos_job_output
    - was updated to correct possible truncated responses for
      the ddname content. This would occur for jobs with very large amounts
      of content from a ddname.
    - was enhanced to to include the completion code (CC) for each individual
      jop step as part of the ret_code response.
  - zos_job_query
    - was enhanced to support a 7 digit job number ID for when there are
      greater than 99,999 jobs in the history.
    - was enhanced to handle when an invalid job ID or job name is used with
      the module and returns a proper response.
  - zos_job_submit
    - was enhanced to fail fast when a submitted job fails instead of waiting
      a predetermined time.
    - was enhanced to check for 'JCL ERROR' when jobs are submitted and result
      in a proper module response.
  - zos_operator_action_query response messages were improved with more
    diagnostic information in the event an error is encountered.
- Documentation
  - Noteworthy documentation updates have been made to:
    - zos_copy and zos_fetch about Co:Z SFTP support.
    - zos_mvs_raw to remove a duplicate example.
    - include documentation for all action plugins.
    - update hyperlinks embedded in documentation.
    - zos_operator to explain how to use single quotes in operator commands.
Deprecated or removed
- zos_ssh connection plugin has been removed, it is no longer required.
  Remove all playbook references, ie connection: ibm.ibm_zos_core.zos_ssh.
- zos_ssh connection plugin has been removed, it is no longer required.
  You must remove the zos_ssh connection plugin from all playbooks that
  reference the plugin, for example connection: ibm.ibm_zos_core.zos_ssh.
- zos_copy module option model_ds has been removed. The model_ds logic
  is now automatically managed and data sets are either created based on the
  src data set or overridden by the new option destination_dataset.
- zos_copy and zos_fetch option sftp_port has been deprecated. To
  set the SFTP port, use the supported options in the ansible.builtin.ssh
  plugin. Refer to the SSH port_ option to configure the port used during
  the modules SFTP transport.

Known Issues

If a playbook includes the deprecated zos_ssh connection plugin, for
example connection: ibm.ibm_zos_core.zos_ssh, it will
encounter this error which can corrected by safely removing the plugin:

.. code-block::
```
"msg": "the connection plugin 'ibm.ibm_zos_core.zos_ssh' was not found"
```
When using the zos_ssh plugin with Ansible 2.11 and earlier versions
of this collection, you will encounter the exception:

.. code-block::

AttributeError: module 'ansible.constants' has no attribute 'ANSIBLE_SSH_CONTROL_PATH_DIR'.

This is resolved in this release by deprecating the zos_ssh connection
plugin and removing all connection: ibm.ibm_zos_core.zos_ssh references
from playbooks.
When using module zos_copy and option force with ansible versions
greater than Ansbile 2.10 and earlier versions of this collection, an
unsupported option exception would occur. This is resolved in this release.
When using the zos_copy or zos_fetch modules in earlier versions of
this collection without 'passwordless' SSH configured such that you are using
--ask-pass or passing an ansible_password in a configuration; during
the playbook execution a second password prompt for SFTP would appear pausing
the playbook execution. This is resolved in this release.
When using the zos_copy or zos_fetch modules, if you tried to use
Ansible connection options such as host_key_checking or port, they
were not included as part of the modules execution. This is resolved in this
release by ensuring compatibility with the ansible.builtin.ssh plugin
options. Refer to the SSH plugin_ documentation to enable supported options.
Known issues for modules can be found in the Notes section of a modules
documentation.

Deprecation Notices

Features and functions are marked as deprecated when they are enhanced and an

note

There is an additional step for Z Open Automation Utilities
1.1.0
(ZOAU) over prior installations of ZOAU on the target z/OS. After
you have configured IBM Open Enterprise Python on
z/OS
environment variables on the z/OS target and have installed
ZOAU from a PAX archive or through SMPe, you will need to perform
a PIP installation of the ZOAU Python libraries and ensure you
have either exported or added these environment variables to your
z/OS host .profile.

Variables:

export ZOAU_HOME=/usr/lpp/IBM/zoautil
export PATH=${ZOAU_HOME}/bin:$PATH
export LIBPATH=${ZOAU_HOME}/lib:${LIBPATH}

PIP installation command:

pip install zoautil_py-1.1.0.tar.gz.

This will install the ZOAU Python libraries on the z/OS target
for use by z/OS Ansible core and other collections.

However, the Python installation may not have the the symbolic
link for pip in which case you can use pip3 to install the
libraries:

pip3 install zoautil_py-1.1.0.tar.gz.

If the Python installation has not installed the wheel packaging
standard and not updated the pip version to the latest, the
warning messages can be ignored.

Example output:

Processing ./zoautil_py-1.1.0.tar.gz
