IBM MQ Ansible for z/OS collection

Opening this IDEA for IBM to support native MQ modules as part of ibm_zos collections. 

Ansible collections are already available on distributed platform, but not on z/OS. Ansible is a great tool that would help automate different administrative tasks. 

IBM has provided that we can run MQ commands using the zos_operator module as part of ibm.ibm_zos_core collection, but this requires users to have access for console commands. This also requires custom tasks to read the output to validate if the command was successful or not. This makes the playbook larger, as for every oper command, we have to run an debug/fail task to validate the command output.

Some examples that would be useful modules:

  1. Check status of queue manager
  2. Run MQSC commands - the mqsc commands are provided either through file path / dataset name, or in the task yaml configuration. 
  3. Report correctly on the task states (OK - command ran, CHANGED - alter command ran and MQ object attribute changed, FAILED - for any failed CSQ codes)
