I'm not quite sure what you mean by IDE. That would be a plugin for Eclipse or IDEA or whatever you use. I'm not sure if RDz has anything for Jenkins for z/OS.

If you meant running Jenkins distributed builds on z/OS then it's doable. I got it running no probs but there are caveats. Jenkins slaves run over SSH which means a z/OS environment. If you want to run batch jobs with tracking you will need to write code. Or you could take a look at Dependency Based Build from IBM which is in beta https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/iwmdocs/web/cc/earlyprograms/dbb/index.shtml. There are some nice Groovy scripts that dynamically build COBOL compiles and links. It doesn't run JCL, everything is a UNIX process.

I'm a big fan of CI and Jenkins. We chose Atlassian Bamboo because we run an Atlassian stack. Both are great and will improve your workflow but you will have work to do.

Hello . We are planning to implement jenkins in to our QA mainframe environment . 
Is there any document where i can look and see how to configure our mainframe 
regions to jenkins . The objective is we should we able to submit jobs and build 
code from jenkins ? Is there any one in the list who has implemented the same  
& would be glad to know the pros and cons of moving to jenkins .

Thanks in Advance
