  • Support dynamic updates to message level
  • Support GDGs for trace file datasets

B-07134

z/OS

UAGSRV

Issue an error when a z/OS File Monitor task definition attempts to use a feature that is not supported.

Attempts to use the following features for native z/OS File Monitor tasks will now issue an error:

  • Regular expression
  • Recursive, stability check, minimum file size options

Attempts to use the following features for Remote File Monitor tasks on z/OS will now issue an error:

  • SSH, FTPS protocols

B-09713

All

UFTP

Add timestamp parameter support to message_level option

B-10106

All

UBROKER

Increase the RSA key length from 1024 to 2048 for the Broker’s internal self-signed certificate.

B-10365
B-12882

All

UCMD
UCTL
UEM
UFTP
USAP
UPPS

Expand the number of characters supported for password values by creating a custom parsing routine to handle them. Relaxes some rules for specifying passwords, such as permitting values that start with or contain characters traditionally used for delimiting command line options.

B-11274

z/OS

UDM
UDMSRV

Preserve an existing dataset’s attributes if it is used for the savedata command.

B-11140
B-11141

All

UFTP

Provide distinct exit codes for different situations like connection failures or authentication errors.

The follow set of exit codes are now possible:

  • General fatal error
    • Unix: 202
    • Windows, z/OS: 1002
  • Configuration error
    • Unix: 220
    • Windows, z/OS: 1020
  • Authentication error
    • Unix: 223
    • Windows, z/OS: 1023
  • Network/connectivity error
    • Unix: 224

B-11537

z/OS

UAGSRV

Extend file monitor support for secondary agents in a sysplex environment

B-11538

z/OS

UAGSRV

Extend “Cancel Job” support for jobs running on any sysplex node

B-12368

All

UAGSRV

Remove ability to configure the enable_ssl option. The ability to create an SSL connection with an OMS Server is always enabled.

NOTE: The OMS Server’s require_ssl option will ultimately determine whether the connection uses SSL.

B-12755

z/OS

UAGSRV

Improve the Agent’s response when a coupling facility encounters a “Structure Full” condition.

B-12811

z/OS

UAGSRV

Add handling for the SETXCF START,REALLOCATE command.

B-12884

All

UDM

Expand the set of characters that a UDM script can support for password values.

B-13106

All

UBROKER

During local license mapping – when the Broker attempts to read locally-configured license information for licensed components – prevent the error below if the configuration file for a particular component is not found.

UNV3380E [1000000001] Error retrieving configuration for product 'xxxx': CFMGetConfigBufferByProdName, 4, configuration name 'xxxx' not found

 where ‘xxxx’ is the component name (for example, uacs).

D-09177

All

UFTP

Prevent the error:

UNV0106E Invalid value for option ‘pwd’: Missing value

When a password starts with a dash (‘-‘).

D-09913

All

UFTP

Fix handling of comma-separated lists for MGET, MPUT, and MDELETE operations

D-09994

All

UBROKER

Ensure that UNV message IDs specified by the msg_suppression_list in ubroker.conf are properly suppressed.

D-10080

All

UFTP

Fixes a situation where not every file selected for transfer with an MGET command is transferred.

The problem presents as UFTP reporting the file being added to the remote file list, but then not being able to find the file when the transfer starts.

The problem was most often – but not exclusively -- seen when an FTP or SSH server is listening on ports other than 21 and 22, respectively.

D-10093

z/OS

UAGU84

Prevent a situation in which UAGU84 will receive a S0C4 when UAGRERUN is not APF authorized.

D-10104

All

USAP

Fix failure to execute SAP Business Warehouse tasks following licensing updates in UA 6.9.0.0.

NOTE: A fix for this is also available in the UA 6.9.0.1 and 6.9.0.2 maintenance releases.

D-10105

All

USAP

Prevent SAP InfoPackage job execution from being mistaken as an attempt to run a regular SAP job that uses a model job without the jobid.

This fixes an issue introduced in a 6.4.2.x release that eliminated the need for a jobid when running a model job.

This change is also available (for all platforms except z/OS) in the UA 6.9.0.2 maintenance release.

D-10153

z/OS

UAGSRV

Prevent UAGSRV from ending with an exit code 18 (ABEND S32E REASON=00000324) at startup when no sysplex_role is specified in UBRCFG00.

NOTE: This error can occur even in a non-sysplex environment.

 
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.  

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-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
titleNote

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.

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. 

D-08997 

z/OS 

UDM 
UDMSRV 

Prevent a S0C4 when executing transfers of UTF16-encoded datasets. 

D-09852 

Unix 
z/OS 

UDM 
UDMSRV 

Ensure that the message that shows the result of the CD command displays correctly. 

This issue was most visible on zOS, but could occur on any Linux/Unix system whose default locale is not UTF8.  

D-10189 

z/OS 

PKG 

Fix a problem that prevented the installation of hlq.SUNVSAMP(UBRDBSPZ). 

D-10210 

All 

UDM 
UDMSRV 

Scrubs any password specified with the OPEN statement from trace file output. 

D-10256 

All 

UDM 

Fixes a crash that could occur if the UDM Manager message level was set to “trace” from the command line. 

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-10426 

z/OS 

UBROKER 

Fixes a problem that prevented UBROKER startup while loading the UNVACTRT SMF exit. 

D-10474 

z/OS 

UCMD 
UCTL 
UDM 
UEM 
UFTP 

 

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 
/* 

 The -level option would be ignored unless moved to a separate line:
//SYSIN DD * 
-userid uid -pwd password 
-level info 
/*
