Scheduler Viewer Extension

Scheduler Viewer Extension is an extension for Visual Studio Code that help with JCL jobs development and execution.

This extension has been designed to help developers to have a global view of the JCL files they work with. It paints a graph with the selected job at the center. The central node's parents are the dependencies and the children are the dependents.

Features

• Draws a graph with job relations.
• Allows opening a graph from the context menu of a workspace file.
• Can execute jobs and notifies when the job has ended.
  • Has the option to set-up environment variables in jcl files with the following formats:
  • Scheduler style "%%variable.".
  • XML style "\<variable>".
  • JSON style "{variable}".
  • JS string interpolation style "${variable}".
• Checks if required DataSets are present before execution.
• Allows exporting the graph to a SVG file.

Requirements

• To use this extension it is required an extraction process of the current scheduler's data.
• To use the z/OS connection capabilities, it is required to have configured a ZOWE profile. A ZOWE profile, in turn, requires the mainframe to have "zosmf" or "rse api".
