B-10691 | All | UAGSRV | 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-13831 | Unix | UAGSRV | Provide the ability for Universal Extensions to detect and respond to Cancel commands issued from Universal Controller. This option provides the new UAG Server configuration option, EXTENSION_CANCEL_TIMEOUT. The ability to configure that value at install time and/or Universal Broker startup is also provided.
| |||||
B-14049 | Unix | UAGSRV | Ensure that any instances of a password exposed by a Universal Extension task are scrubbed from the UAG Server cache files. | |||||
D-07313 | Unix | UAGSRV | Improve message handling and separation to prevent possible message loss. | |||||
D-09666 | Windows | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem when the -uagstdio option is specified for additional UCMD Options and one or more of that option’s values contains double quotes that must be preserved. | |||||
D-10171 | Windows | UAGSRV | Prevent the agent.log from being inherited by tasks spawned by the Agent. This fixes a problem that caused the agent.log’s scheduled rollover at midnight to fail if Agent tasks were running. | |||||
D-10346 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem that prevented a zOS CHANGE File Monitor task from storing a renamed dataset’s new name in Universal Control variables. | |||||
D-10415 | Windows | UAGSRV | Fixes an issue introduced in UA 7.0.0.0 that caused incorrect translation of UTF8 characters in Windows scripts. | |||||
D-10432 | Unix | UEXT | Fixes an issue that prevented collection of STDOUT when a Universal Extension task is cancelled.

B-13885 | z/OS | UBROKER | Suppress ICH408I messages in the RACF log when running the Broker with a user without BPX.SUPERUSER access. This message is an expected response to a check of authority level, but repeated checks result in several instances of the ICH408I message appear in the log. | |||||

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. |
