Hello Michael,
I am using AAP 4.4.7 but not an execution environment at the moment but I think I may know what this is related to, please review the zos_ping modules notes section here.
In a nutshell, I think got (, expecting Newline\r\n", is a transmission error meaning this module whose source is REXX was transferred using SFTP hence as BINARY meaning no auto conversion from UTF-8 to EBCDIC and therefore the z/OS REXX interpreter complained with the above.
In the module docs I had written (below) as well as some other advice.
OpenSSH 9.0, it switches from SCP to use SFTP by default, meaning transfers are no longer treated as text and are transferred as binary preserving the source files encoding resulting in a module failure....
To resolve this add scp_extra_args="-O" to your `ansible.cfg`, if in AAP (don't use AWX at the moment, add it to your hosts inventory).
Optionally a quick test might be to augment your job template (playbook) like in this discussion here and add scp_extra_args="-O" to the vars: section.

Subject: Execute playbook with ansible awx
Hello everyone,
does anyone have experience with executing a playbook with ansible awx/tower in an execution environment?
I did build a default execution environment with the ibm.ibm_zos_core collection in it. As soon as it tries do execute a module from this collection, the playbook fails with:
{
"module_stdout": "/home/###/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1721300005.3040354-44-128306311444461/AnsiballZ_zos_ping.rexx 1: FSUM7332 syntax error: got (, expecting Newline\r\n",
"module_stderr": "Shared connection to ### closed.\r\n",
"msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error",
"rc": 1,
"_ansible_no_log": false,
"changed": false
}
When I run the exactly same playbook from my workstation without an execution environment, it works well. Does anyone has an idea to fix this issue?
Kind regards,
Michael
