UFTP

Fixes a situation where not every file selected for transfer with an MGET command is transferred.

The problem presents as UFTP reporting the file being added to the remote file list, but then not being able to find the file when the transfer starts.

The problem was most often – but not exclusively -- seen when an FTP or SSH server is listening on ports other than 21 and 22, respectively.

USAP

Prevent SAP InfoPackage job execution from being mistaken as an attempt to run a regular SAP job that uses a model job without the jobid.

This fixes an issue introduced in a 6.4.2.x release that eliminated the need for a jobid when running a model job.

This change is also available (for all platforms except z/OS) in the UA 6.9.0.2 maintenance release.

D-10153

z/OS

UAGSRV

Prevent UAGSRV from ending with an exit code 18 (ABEND S32E REASON=00000324) at startup when no sysplex_role is specified in UBRCFG00.

NOTE: This error can occur even in a non-sysplex environment.

If a local file list cannot be built as part of MPUT processing, a cURL error -504 is reported, but UFTP ends with exit code 0.

The fix for this Defect corrects the exit code processing so that UFTP will end with exit code 202.

NOTE: Also included for this fix is a change to the cURL error reported for this situation. Instead of reporting:

UNV6674I cURL return code: -504

UFTP will now report:

UNV6674I cURL return code: 26

This makes the Unix implementation consistent with Windows.
