Description

B-10691 

All 

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-12809 

All
(except HP-UX and Solaris Intel) 

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).

B-13316 

Unix (except HP-UX) 
Windows 

UFTP 

Update SSH Key Exchange and Cipher support for SFTP transfers.  

Provides better compatibility with default OpenSSH configurations, by making the following changes to supported key exchange methods: 

Added: 

  • ecdh-sha2-nistp521 
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp384 
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp256 
  • curve25519-sha26

Removed: 

  • diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha 
  • diffie-helman-group14-sha1 
  • diffie-helman-group1-sha1

The diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange method was left unchanged. 

Support for the following ciphers was added: 

  • AES-256-CTR 
  • AES-192-CTR 
  • AES-128-CTR

Support for the following ciphers was left unchanged: 

  • AES-256-GCM 
  • AES-128-GCM 
  • AES-256-CBC 
  • AES-192-CBC 
  • AES-128-CBC

Update the values supported via the requires_python declaration of a Universal Extension implementation as follows: 

  • Support wildcards in the version specification (for example, “==2.7.*”). 
  • Support an exclusive range of versions via the > and < operators (for example, “> 2.6, < 4”).
  • Support an inclusive range of versions via the >= and <= operator (for example, “> 3.7.6”).

B-13860 

Unix 
Windows 

UEXT 

Refactor the Universal Extension logging API so that it is no longer necessary to instantiate an ExtensionLogger object. Logging methods can now be accessed using the following import: 

from universal_extension import logger 

Logging methods can be invoked using calls such as either:
