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
WindowsUAGSRVAdd 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 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.

OMSSRVAdd the ability for Universal Control to refresh an OMS Server's MAX_MSG_SIZE and MSG_CHUNK_SIZE configuration options without requiring a server restart.B-17449AllUBROKER

Revisit changes previously delivered by B-14668 in Universal Agent 7.3.0.0. That delivery provided the ability to automatically recover a Universal Broker database that failed validation at startup. However, to provide backward compatibility, that feature was not enabled by default and had to be manually configured across the enterprise with the Universal Broker RECREATE_DATABASES configuration option.

The UA 7.5.0.0 release provides the following changes to the automatic Broker database recovery feature:

  • The RECREATE_DATABASES configuration option is deprecated.
  • Automatic recovery now occurs by default for those databases that fail a validation which may occur at Broker startup. This validation is triggered whenever the databases weren't properly closed during shutdown of the previous Broker instance. Affected databases include:
    • bcomponent.db
    • scomponent.db
    • ues.db
    • uems.db
  • By default, the Broker creates a copy of any database that fails validation. The Broker then removes the corrupted database and recreates it so that Broker startup may proceed.
  • The number of database copies is controlled by a new DB_FILE_GENERATIONS configuration option. The default value of that option is 3. Database archival can be turned off by setting the value of the option to 0 (zero).

The intent of the updated behavior is to improve Agent resiliency and recoverability while retaining some ability to manage these database files.

The nis module is a thin wrapper around the NIS library, which is only available on Unix systems (not Linux).

Drop support for Solaris 10.

Starting with Universal Agent 7.6.0.0, installs are only permitted on Solaris 11. The install will be allowed to continue on any Solaris 11 system, but only Solaris 11.4 is certified.

Note

Critical Information

This is a breaking change for upgrades from Universal Agent versions prior to 7.6.0.0.

If you are running an OMS Server on a Solaris Intel system and attempt to upgrade to 7.6.0.0 or later, the OMS message file can no longer be read.

The reason is that Universal Agent versions prior to 7.6.0.0 were 32-bit on Solaris Intel. Starting with 7.6.0.0, Solaris Intel deliveries are 64-bit. If Universal Agent 7.6.0.0 or later attempts to read an OMS message file created by an earlier 32-bit Universal Agent, the OMS Server will crash.

For the best upgrade experience and to minimize any unexpected downtime, please refer to this section.

Upgrades on Solaris SPARC are not affected.
