Except zos_ping other modules are failing in error.
These are the version of software packages being used
zoaversion is 1.2.4
python 3.10 (on z/os)
Ansible Version
ansible 8.3.0
ansible-core 2.15.3
Collection Version
----------------------------- -------
ibm.ibm_zos_core 1.6.0
Python on zos is not SMPE maintained , it is received pax.z form so could not list applied maintenance so not sure if any PTF is missing which is causing .
I am just using a basic simple playbook
- name: List APF

If I run same play as exercise on zos xplorer it works , there the zo au version 1.2 and python is 3.9 .
Any suggestions will be helpful.
