Came from distributed. Writing a small automation that creates a PDS member and submits a job. ZOAU datasets.write / job submit APIs look perfect.
Ops folks keep saying "just use JCL." Is ZOAU actually used in prod shops or mostly demos?
We use it in prod for glue work - dataset checks, light submits, health reports. Not replacing the core payroll JCL. Think of it as REXX with a friendlier ecosystem.
As long as the ID has the same RACF rights as the batch user and you log what you submit, I am fine with it. Wild west personal HLQs submitting to prod is a no.
Fair. Keeping it under the automation ID with the same controls as the old REXX.
