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-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-13768 

Unix 

UAGSRV 

Improve response and performance when several file monitor tasks that check file stability run concurrently.  

B-13819 

Unix 
Windows 

UEXT 

Provide the UAGSRV EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST configuration option to extend the list of locations searched for Python instances that may be used by Universal Extension tasks.

Note

The HP-UX and z/OS agents do not provide the Universal Extension. 

B-13820 

Unix 
Windows 

UAGSRV 
UBROKER 
PKG 

Allow the following Universal Extension config options to be set at install time or via Broker startup: 

  • EXTENSION_ACCEPT_LIST 
  • EXTENSION_DEPLOY_ON_REGISTRATION 
  • EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST 
  • EXTENSION_CANCEL_TIMEOUT

B-14049 

Unix
Windows 

UAGSRV 
UEXT 

Ensure that any instances of a password exposed by a Universal Extension task are scrubbed from the UAG Server cache files. 

D-07313 

Unix 
Windows 

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-10470 

Linux PPC 

All 

Prevent a crash during OpenSSL random number generation seeding observed on RHEL8 on a PowerPC system.

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-10426 

z/OS 

UBROKER 

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

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-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-10435 

Windows 

UCMD 
UCTL 
UDM 
UFTP 

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. 

D-10470 

Linux PPC 

All 

Prevent a crash during OpenSSL random number generation seeding observed on RHEL8 on a PowerPC system. 

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 
/*
