Stonebranch provides product maintenance in the form of updated product installation packages that contained the latest maintenance levels of product components. These pages list the product installation package and component maintenance history for Universal Agent 6.78.x.

Product Packaging

Agent components are bundled together into product installation packages, referred to simply as packages in this document. Each package is identified with a package version number and each component within a package is identified with a component version number.

...

Package maintenance levels are not necessarily made available for all platforms. Package maintenance may be released for a subset of supported platforms. For example, Universal Agent 6.78.0 for z/OS and UNIX may be at maintenance level 6.7.0.1, but Universal Agent 6.78.0 for Windows may be at 6.78.0.0.

Stonebranch changes product version, release, or modification identifiers at its discretion when it deems an appropriate number of enhancements or capabilities have been introduced to warrant the change.

...

For example, for Universal Agent 6.78.0.0:

  • 6 = Version 6
  • 7 8 = Release 78
  • 0 = Modification Level 0
  • 0 = Maintenance Level 0

...

For example, within a Universal Agent 6.8.70.1 .0 package, there could be a Universal Command 6.78.0.0 component:

  • 6 = Version 6
  • 7 8 = Release 78
  • 0 = Modification Level 0
  • 0 = Maintenance Level 0

...

z/OS

The Universal Agent 6.78.0 package is an SMP/E install consisting of multiple FMIDs. The package is composed of a set of FMIDs for MVS components and a set of FMIDs for UNIX System Services (USS) components. The MVS components are required and the USS components are optional.
 
Maintenance is packaged as a cumulative PTF file containing all available product PTFs for all products within the Workload Automation package.

Windows

All packages are created with the InstallShield Windows packaging tool. The package is installed with Microsoft’s Windows Installer (file extension .msi).
 
Product maintenance is packaged as an updated Windows Installer installation package. The installation process upgrades the current install to the latest product maintenance level.

UNIX

There are two installation methods supported on UNIX platforms, both of which are initiated from a Stonebranch script:

<ul>
<li> A system installation uses the UNIX package management system to install the product in vendor-recommended installation directories.
<li> A user mode installation method is performed outside of the UNIX package management system. It allows installation of the product in user-selected directories, and supports multiple installs of differing versions or the same versions of the product.
</ul>
Product maintenance is packaged as an updated installation package. The installation process upgrades the current installation to the latest product maintenance level. <br><br>
UNIX vendor system installation formats are as follows:
