About
This plugin provides its functions via FTP connection to IBM z/OS LPAR. You can configure your SCLM project on z/OS and then check for the changes via Jenkins.
Features include:
- Submission of user JCL job (with optional log collected upon finish)
- Introduction of SCLM as SCM for your projects allowing to checkout SCLM changes
- The ability to build SCLM projects currently can be performed only via 'Submit zOS Job' build action
Version differences
Kindly back up your JCL texts before upgrading to version 2.0.0.
The 2.0 release uses text files instead of plaintext input, so old jobs will become obsolete.
Configuration
JESINTERFACELEVEL differences
Job Name must be configured accordingly to your FTP server configuration:
- If JESINTERFACELEVEL=1 is configured, only a job named USERIDx (USERID - your z/OS user ID, x - strictly 1 character) can be processed correctly (when you are waiting for the job to end).
- If JESINTERFACELEVEL=2 is configured, no additional considerations are required.
Change log
Version 2.3.2
- Fix NPE if FTP failed to list files (closed socket, etc.)
Version 2.3.1
- Regression from 2.3.0: JESINTERFACELEVEL=2 had problems with job listing and didn't check for RC (JENKINS-57549)
Version 2.3.0
- Fix JESINTERFACELEVEL=1 inconsistencies (JENKINS-56976)
- Don't do too many reconnects (regression from 2.2.0)
- Plugin can now handle RC in JESINTERFACELEVEL=1 (but you need to check that correct level is used in Jenkins job config)
Version 2.2.0
- Logout of the FTP server as soon as single request is performed.
This will result in increased number of connect → login → logout → disconnect sequences, but should also make plugin more stable.
Version 2.1.0
- Environment variables are once again expanded before job submission (JENKINS-55609)
Version 2.0.1
- Fix false positive error message if not waiting on job completion (JENKINS-54574)
Version 2.0.0
- Use credentials instead of username-password pair
- Use text file with JCL code instead of plaintext field (if you need to track SCLM in the same job - consider using Multiple SCMs plugin)
