You might want to look at my SHARE presentation http://share.confex.com/data/handout/share/126/Session_18592_handout_9070_0.pdf
I describe how BCPii is used to automate a daily DR test. The lack of support for zVM is indeed annoying. I spoke to Steve Warren(responsible for BCPII development at IBM) at San Antonio about the lack of zVM support for BCPii. He told me that it would require considerable effort on the zVM side. So I would not hold my breath on that one.
