Zero-Touch SMP/E: Automating Mainframe Maintenance With Ansible and z/OSMF
DescriptionAre you looking for a way to modernize and speed up your mainframe maintenance? Have you ever gotten lost in the ‘zone’? Managing SMP/E maintenance on z/OS can be time-consuming and error-prone, especially when dealing with multiple LPARs and ensuring consistent updates. This session explores how Ansible can streamline SMP/E processes—automating RECEIVE ORDER, APPLY, and ACCEPT—while integrating with z/OSMF REST APIs for seamless job execution and tracking. Join two presenters with different levels of experience and knowledge to discover how zero-touch automation can transform mainframe maintenance, improve efficiency, and future-proof your SMP/E processes.
