samples/jobs.py fails with zoautil_py.exceptions.JobSubmitException?

[samilaine]

Taking the samples/jobs.py as it is and running it in the IBM Z Explore USS produces

/z/zXXXXX/py > python3 zoautil-examples-jobs.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/z/zXXXXX/py/zoautil-examples-jobs.py", line 67, in <module>
    run_sample()
  File "/z/zXXXXX/py/zoautil-examples-jobs.py", line 36, in run_sample
    job_sample = jobs.submit(dsn_with_mem_sample_jcl)
  File "/usr/lpp/IBM/zoautil/lib/zoautil_py/jobs.py", line 55, in submit
    raise ZOAUException(response.stderr_response)
zoautil_py.exceptions.ZOAUException

This might be a quirk of the IBM Z Xplore system setup, which is, obviously, out of my reach, but in any case I think it might be a good idea to wrap the call to jobs.submit() within a try...except block and print out what exactly went wrong.

I'm not using the IBM Z Xplore system at the moment, so could you provide the ZOAU version that you're using there?

[samilaine]

My best guess is that this will do:

/z/zXXXXX > /usr/lpp/IBM/zoautil/bin/zoaversion      
2022/03/25 14:00:00 CUT V1.1.1

We've made significant improvements to ZOAU in the v1.2 release stream. I don't know what kind of authority you're given on this system, but perhaps you could try installing a newer ZOAU version?
