Resolves unexpected behavior for a z/OS task, under the following conditions:
- The z/OS task contains a Step Condition that is defined treat an ABEND as an expected result, by specifying an action of Continue/Success
- A subsequent step in the z/OS task's JCL contains an EXEC COND= parameter that references the ABENDed step, that would normally prevent execution of the step
Prior to this fix, the EXEC COND= parameter is not honored when the ABEND occurs, and the step executes.
This fix ensures the Step Condition and the EXEC COND= configuration is honored.

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.
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.

Fixes a situation in which a UDM file transfer will fail if an attempt is made to allocate a zOS dataset with an EXPDT equal to one of the following special values:
00000 - allocate the dataset with no expiration date
98000 - used by some tape management systems control when datasets are uncataloged and tape volumes become available for re-use
99000 - used by some tape management systems control when datasets are uncataloged and tape volumes become available for re-use
99365 - allocate the dataset so that it never expires
99366 - allocate the dataset so that it never expires
When none of the above 5-digit values are used, UDM will still expect a 7-digit expiration date as it did prior to this change.

See the UAGRERUN Stand Alone Execution section in the Universal Agent User Guide for complete details. | ||
