This playbook demonstrates how to perform encoding conversions using modules included in the Red Hat Ansible Certified Content for IBM Z core collection. The following core modules are used to accomplish these set of tasks:
This playbook uses:
- collection:
- ibm.ibm_zos_core
- modules:
- zos_encode
It is a good practice to review the playbook contents before executing them. It will help you understand the requirements in terms of space, location, names, authority, and the artifacts that will be created and cleaned up.
This playbook requires:
- Configure the included inventory.yml with the
information from the managed z/OS host.
- Review inventory documentation
- Configure the included host_vars zos_host.yml
with the information from your z/OS system.
- Review host_vars documentation and any additional noted variables in the configuration.
This project has included a site.yml playbook that serves as the primary playbook
that provides additional prerequisite checks then it invokes the convert_encoding.yml
playbook.
If you want to run the primary playbook site.yml it will check that your environment
has the correct version of Ansible as well as the collection needed to execute
correctly. To run the primary playbook, use command:
ansible-playbook -i inventories site.ymlYou can skip the prerequisite check and run the convert_encoding.yml with
command:
ansible-playbook -i inventories convert_encoding.ymlAll changes are maintained chronologically by date found in the changelog.
