Unix

UAGSRV
 
UFTP 

Add explicit FTPS (FTPES) support to UFTP. 

Enables transfers using TLS/SSL over connection to standard FTP port 21, provided the FTP server supports it. 

To request TLS/SSL from a Remote File Transfer or Remote File Monitor task, select the FTP protocol and prepend ftpes:// to the FTP server host name or IP address (e.g., ftpes://somehost). If the FTP server has enabled TLS/SSL support, the connection will proceed using encrypted communication. If TLS/SSL support is NOT enabled, a plain text session/transfer is done. 

The UFTP ENABLE_SSL configuration option (default:no) is provided to always request a TLS/SSL session, eliminating the need to specify the ftpes:// prefix. 

The UFTP AUTHENTICATE_PEER configuration option (default: no) is provided to control FTP server certificate authentication. When set to “yes”, the UFTP CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option must specify a CA certificate that can authenticate the FTP server’s certificate. 

B-13282 

z/OS 

UAGSRV 

Add automatic failover support for Agents configured to execute in a sysplex environment.  

The following items were delivered for UA 7.1.0.0 to support this feature: 

  • B-13184: Allow a secondary agent to become a primary agent upon failover. 
  • B-13186: Allow a primary agent to become a secondary agent upon failover. 
  • B-13283: Provide the ability to configure a failover hierarchy, to determine the order in which secondary agents are chosen to become the new primary agent. 
  • B-13284: Provide the ability to stop a Universal Broker started task WITHOUT initiating a failover. 
  • B-13285: Provide the ability to stop a Universal Broker started task AND initiate a failover.  
  • B-13291: Allow a new primary agent to receive tracking data for jobs submitted or executed by the previous primary agent. 
  • B-13964: Ensure that licenses obtained from Universal Controller are handled properly within the updated primary and secondary agents whenever a failover occurs

Fixes a problem introduced in the UA 7.1.0.1 release by D-10828, where model jobs whose jobnames were less than 32 characters would fail upon execution. With this fix, model jobs with jobnames less than or equal to 32 characters will execute successfully.

USAP 

Update USAP to support the RSPARAMSL_255 data type for variants. The following USAP operations may now take advantage of this change: 

  • SUBMIT variant using a variant definition file 
  • MODIFY variant using a variant definition file 
  • DISPLAY variant 
  • GENERATE variant definition 
  • SUBMIT job from job definition file with inline temporary variant. SAP LOW and HIGH data types to support up to 255 chars

These changes are supported for XBP 2.0 and XBP 3.0, but full 255-character support ultimately depends on the SAP function module implementation.  

Note
titleNote

For the most consistent RSPARAMSL_255 support, Stonebranch recommends using SAP NW RFC library version 7.5.x and XBP 3.0 (controlled via the USAP XBP_MAX configuration option).

Eliminate all "benign" ICH408I message occurrences from the RACF log. 

These messages would sometimes appear during UDM's processing, when checking for access to resources it required. UDM would silently ignore the situation that caused these messages, using an alternate execution path. This change will ensure that UDM takes no action that could result in these messages.

UDM
UDMSRV

Prevent an authentication error for a File Transfer task when the following conditions exist:

  • File Transfer task uses Universal Data Mover (UDM)

  • UDM script is used by the task

  • UDM script issues the exec or execsap command

  • exec or execsap command uses the pwd parameter
  • One of the built-in credential variables – $(ops_primary_cred_pwd) or $(ops_secondary_cred_pwd) -- is used for the pwd parameter's value

For example:

Code Block
titleUDM Script Statements
collapsetrue
open src=local dst=rmthost.ipaddr user=$(ops_secondary_cred_user) pwd=$(ops_secondary_cred_pwd)
exec src cmd="dir" user=$(ops_primary_cred_user) pwd=$(ops_primary_cred_pwd)
or 
Starting with UA 7.0.0.0, this will cause the resolved $(ops_
secondary
primary_cred_pwd) value in the exec statement to be enclosed in double quotes ("). The double quotes are retained when passed to UCMD Manager (or USAP for an execsap statement). The double quotes will prevent successful password authentication.
