You could set up a Scheduling Environment for Sysprog jobs (ONLY) and another one for everything else that's batch. During normal operation both are active on all sysplex LPARs. During the test window, turn OFF the "Everything Else" environment on the LPAR you're testing on, leaving only the Sysprog environment active. When testing is complete the "Everything Else" environment is set back on.
Maybe not the most efficient solution, but it will work. You'd need to make sure both environments are active after an IPL thru use of your automation software or else you'll be scratching your head wondering why batch isn't running.
