[Enabler][Research] Ensure modules use 'remote_tmp' directory when set

[fernandofloresg]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• There are no existing issues.

Enabler description

During my last development task #1481 I noticed that uses of tempfile will not use the environment variable TMP, TMPDIR or ANSIBLE_REMOTE_TMP.

In that task, I only fixed zos_copy code, but doing a simple search I noticed other modules are using the same library.

This enabler task is to validate which modules are not honoring the ansible_remote_tmp variable and instead create temporary files under other locations, size the task(s) and assign a priority.

The initial module list seems to be:

• zos_job_submit.
• zos_script.
• zos_unarchive.
• module_utils/data_set (We need to check which modules use this, most likely zos_data_set).
• module_utils/encode (We need to check which modules, again, at least zos_encode).
• module_utils/template
• zos_fetch
• zos_mount
• zos_tso_command

Do test these with another user that is not BXPROOT, change the permissions that are in the remote tmp directory to not be able to write/read in/from it.
