## Description

7-
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 archiving and unarchiving of data sets, initializing volumes, resizing aggregates, performing backups and supports Jinja templating.
