Launching Cobol Test Jobs on zOS
Home -> Developer Guide -> IBM zOS Platform Guide ->
For cases when the user transfers files "manually" between z/OS and their local development environment, and they are not using a developer stack that includes z/OS-hosted components to simplify file transfer and job submission, we can provide a ProcessLauncher implementation that uses the JZOS library to submit JCL to JES to run test jobs. With this option, Cobol Check runs on the z/OS system.
For cases when the user is working on an Open Source developer stack that includes VSCode and Zowe Explorer, and the z/OS instance has back-end Zowe components installed, we can provide a ProcessLauncher implementation that runs on the developer's local environment and submits test jobs to run on the z/OS system via Zowe APIs. With this option, Cobol Check runs on the developer's off-platform system and submits the test job remotely via Zowe.
- Zowe Documentation: zowe -> zos-ftp -> submit -> local-file
- IBM Documentation: Using IBM Z Open Editor and Zowe to launch jobs
If Cobol Check is integrated with commercial developer stacks, such as those from IBM, Compuware, CA, and Micro Focus, then we will need to learn how to submit test jobs via those products. This is out of scope for early releases of Cobol Check.
