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
Note

To ensure proper accounting for z/OS licenses, we recommend that all UAG Servers configured to run in a sysplex environment use the same value for the UAG Server’s NETNAME configuration option.

    Prevent a situation in which command line parameters provided via a SYSIN statement were ignored if they followed a password on the same line. 

    For example, given the following: 

     //SYSIN DD * 
    -userid uid -pwd password -level info

    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)

    Starting with UA 7.0.0.0, this will cause the resolved $(ops_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.

    Issue a configuration error when the DES-CBC-SHA cipher is specified from a Windows component. 

    This cipher was deprecated in a previous release and since then, Agent server components would fail to negotiate a session with a manager component that only requested the DES-CBC-SHA cipher. However, the value itself should have been flagged during configuration processing and not presented to the server.
