Fixes an intermittent issue where UAGSRV may terminate abnormally when stopped with the Universal Control utility (UCTL). The failure is not common, and was observed only when the UAG Server JTSK_NUM configuration option was set to its maximum value of 64.

...

Fixes an issue where Program and Variant Names do not appear in their respective drop down lists when adding an ABAP Program Job Step to an SAP Task.

The failure applies to Load Balancing (Type-B) connections only and results in a "Missing required Value for RFC Connection" error.

B-15847WindowsUIP-VSCODEAdd the ability for the VisualStudio Code Plugin for Universal Extension development to detect when an extension's implementation no longer matches the extension template defined in the Controller.
The types of "out-of-sync" conditions the VSCode Plugin will detect are listed below.

  • Invalid field name: This occurs when the Python code references an invalid field name for a given context (e.g., extension_start, Dynamic Choice Command, Dynamic Command).

  • Field used as incorrect type: The Python code uses a field incorrectly, based on that field's type definition in the Controller.

  • Invalid Dynamic Choice Command Name: The Python code references an invalid Dynamic Choice Command name. This can occur when the Dynamic Choice field has been renamed or removed from the template.

  • Invalid Dynamic Command Name: The Python code references an invalid Dynamic Command name. This can occur when the Dynamic Command has been renamed or removed from the template.

  • Unimplemented Dynamic Choice Command: The template contains a Dynamic Choice field that is not implemented in the Python code.

  • Unimplemented Dynamic Command: The template contains a Dynamic Command that is not implemented in the Python code.

  • Invalid dependent field mapping for Dynamic Choice field: A Dynamic Choice Field specifies a dependent field mapping for a field that does not exist in the template.

  • Invalid dependent field mapping for Dynamic Command: A Dynamic Command specifies a dependent field mapping for a field that does not exist in the template.

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.

B-16800WindowsUIP-VSCODEAdd support for multi-root workspaces to the VisualStudio Code Plugin for Universal Extension development. This support will allow extension developers to work on several different extensions in the same VSCode workspace.B-16813Unix

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.

This was done for parity with Unix installs.
NOTE: Use of this option will apply configuration updates to all Universal Agent components that use SSL/TLS. Care must be taken when using this option for upgrades from UA 7.4.0.x and later, as TLS 1.3 may already be used for some Agent components and turned off in others. Using this option will cause all component configurations to enable TLS 1.3 support.
