Provides changes that:

  • Adds operating system name and version to the Universal Query Report heading, and
  • Adds operating system name and version to header information contained Universal Agent component trace files.
B-16795

Unix
Windows

UAGSRVImprove the management and display of an Agent task's output that contains diacritic characters and other language-specific features when that output is viewed from the Controller.
B-16797Unix
Windows
UAGSRVAdd the ability to control exactly where a script is written by defining the following environment variables in a task:
  • UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY - specifies a directory that is visible to the native user environment in which the task executes.
  • UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY_RELATIVE_TO - used with UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY to specify a location in an isolated execution environment (e.g., chroot). This is a location that the user in whose context the task executes would not necessary necessarily see in their native shell environment, but is visible to the task's environment.

Neither of these variables need to be defined for a task that does not execute in an isolated, secure environment.

B-16813Unix
Windows
UAGSRVImprove the Universal Agent Server's warm start processing so that a re-starting Agent will display an "Active" status in the Universal Controller with minimal delay.
B-17457

Unix
Windows

UAGSRV
USAP

Provides Universal Agent support for SAP Task enhancements and improved form layout provided by Universal Controller 7.5.0.0.

Agent enhancements also include support for:

  • Email notifications
  • Extended print parameters
  • Dynamic field population for ABAP reports, variants, languages, and output devices
B-17520z/OSUAGSRVAdd the ability to edit JCL in a zOS task's JCL Location or JCL Override Location directly from the Controller.
B-17521z/OSUAGSRVAdd Agent support to zOS tasks for Controller Task Simulations. Any symbols that are defined in the JCL will be resolved when the simulation is run.
B-17523z/OSUAGSRVProvide the ability to dynamically add or override the USER keyword on a JOB Statement using the new UAG Server configuration option ZOS_JOB_USER.
B-17583

Unix (except HP-UX and Solaris)
Windows
OMSSRV
UAGSRV
UEXT

Add the ability to define activity tracing and collect performance metrics for Universal Extension tasks, OMS Server, and UAG Server.

Data is collected by an OpenTelemetry collector, making it suitable for display in front-end applications like Grafana and Jaeger.

B-17755z/OSUAGSRVAdd Agent support for the new Trigger on Create option for Change file monitors. This allows a zOS agent to look for dataset creations or changes from the same file monitor task instance.
D-07391Unix
Windows
UAGSRV

Fixes a problem where the output for a task will contain the first character of the next line that exceeds the number of output lines the task is configured to automatically retrieve.

For this problem to occur, a task

  1. Must be configured to automatically retrieve stdout/stderr, and
  2. Must specify a "number of lines" to retrieve from that output
D-11115Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows
UAGSRV
UEXT
Fixes a problem where the requires_python field of a Universal Extension fails to detect or select a suitable Python executable when comparison operators less than (<) or greater than (>) are used.
D-11137WindowsUAGSRVFixes a problem with file monitor tasks that specify a file path with a double backslash as a separator (e.g. C:\\work\\pattern*.txt ). The file monitor task issues the error "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." and then fails with a Start Failure.
D-11156UnixUAGSRVEnsure that all file descriptors are properly closed when a task fails because credentials were specified for a user account that does not exist.
D-11178UnixUAGSRVFixes an issue that could result in excessive CPU consumption when UAG Server launches and/or executes several different task types concurrently.
D-11189AllOMSSRV
UAGSRV
UBROKER
UCMD
UCMSRV
UCTL
UCTSRV
UDM
UDMSRV
UFTP
Update the OpenSSL library used by Universal Agent components to 1.1.1u.

NOTE: The OpenSSL library used for the Universal Agent for HP-UX distribution was not updated.
D-11334WindowsUAGSRV
UEXT
Improves the efficiency of the termination logic when a Universal Extension tasks on Windows finishes.
D-11335WindowsUAGSRVFixes an issue that prevents successful completion of a Change file monitor instance when the file path contains double backslashes (i.e., \\) or a single forward slash (i.e., /). Prior to this fix, the task instance remains in a Running status.
D-11342Unix
Windows
UAGSRVEnsures that any temporary files created by Universal Extension tasks are properly removed following completion of UAG Server warm start processing.
D-11362z/OSUAGSRVFixes a problem that may cause an extra USER= parameter to get added to the JCL's job card created for a File Transfer task.
D-11392z/OSUAGSRVPrevent an error when a z/OS task is rerun under the following conditions:
  • the task's JCL is pulled from the specified JCL Override Library, and
  • a JCLLIB statement is manually inserted within JCL statements that UAG Server generates and inserts into the JCL
D-11424z/OSUAGU83Fixes a problem where an ABEND within the UAGU83 SMF exit module could cause RMF to terminate with an S0C1.
D-11470Unix (except HP-UX)UAGSRV
UEXT
Fix an issue that may cause a CANCEL command issued for a Universal Extension task to take longer than necessary to process.
D-11472Unix
Windows
UAGSRV

Remove an extra line that is shown in the Universal Broker log when the Broker is run in console mode and UAG Server encounters a job launch failure.

D-11478UnixUAGSRVFixes an issue that may cause messages intended for the ops_monitor process to be consumed by UAG Server and sent to a file transfer task, which could cause its failure.
