Description

B-10691 

All 

UAGSRV 
UFTP 

Add explicit FTPS (FTPES) support to UFTP. 

Enables transfers using TLS/SSL over connection to standard FTP port 21, provided the FTP server supports it. 

To request TLS/SSL from a Remote File Transfer or Remote File Monitor task, select the FTP protocol and prepend ftpes:// to the FTP server host name or IP address (e.g., ftpes://somehost). If the FTP server has enabled TLS/SSL support, the connection will proceed using encrypted communication. If TLS/SSL support is NOT enabled, a plain text session/transfer is done. 

The UFTP ENABLE_SSL configuration option (default:no) is provided to always request a TLS/SSL session, eliminating the need to specify the ftpes:// prefix. 

The UFTP AUTHENTICATE_PEER configuration option (default: no) is provided to control FTP server certificate authentication. When set to “yes”, the UFTP CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option must specify a CA certificate that can authenticate the FTP server’s certificate. 

B-12809 

All
(except HP-UX and Solaris Intel)
 

USAP 

Update USAP to support the RSPARAMSL_255 data type for variants. The following USAP operations may now take advantage of this change: 

  • SUBMIT variant using a variant definition file 
  • MODIFY variant using a variant definition file 
  • DISPLAY variant 
  • GENERATE variant definition 
  • SUBMIT job from job definition file with inline temporary variant. SAP LOW and HIGH data types to support up to 255 chars

These changes are supported for XBP 2.0 and XBP 3.0, but full 255-character support ultimately depends on the SAP function module implementation.  

Note
titleNote

For the most consistent RSPARAMSL_255 support, Stonebranch recommends using SAP NW RFC library version 7.5.x and XBP 3.0 (controlled via the USAP XBP_MAX configuration option).

B-13316 

Unix (except HP-UX) 
Windows 

UFTP 

Update SSH Key Exchange and Cipher support for SFTP transfers.  

Provides better compatibility with default OpenSSH configurations, by making the following changes to supported key exchange methods: 

Added: 

  • ecdh-sha2-nistp521 
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp384 
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp256 
  • curve25519-sha26

Removed: 

  • diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha 
  • diffie-helman-group14-sha1 
  • diffie-helman-group1-sha1

The diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange method was left unchanged. 

Support for the following ciphers was added: 

  • AES-256-CTR 
  • AES-192-CTR 
  • AES-128-CTR

Support for the following ciphers was left unchanged: 

  • AES-256-GCM 
  • AES-128-GCM 
  • AES-256-CBC 
  • AES-192-CBC 
  • AES-128-CBC

  • Support wildcards in the version specification (for example, “==2.7.*”). 
  • Support an exclusive range of versions via the > and < operators (for example, “> 2.6, < 4”).
  • Support an inclusive range of versions via the >= and <= operator (for example, “> 3.7.6”).

B-14036AllUFTP

Establish a connection to the (S)FTP Server before attempting the requested transfer operation. This will allow connection-specific failures to be isolated and reported.

To support this change, the following message:

UNV3707E cURL reports could not connect.

was replaced with:

UNV6955E Unable to establish an FTP server connection (curl_rc): curl_msg

where curl_rc and curl_msg are the return code and error message, respectively, that identify the problem.

In addition, UFTP now displays the entire connection conversation between it and the Server without requiring the -verbose option. 

B-14071

Unix

UAGSRV

Add the KILL_PROCESS_TREE option to control how UAG Server responds to a Cancel task command from Universal Controller. When yes, the entire process tree is terminated via SIGTERM. Any process within the tree that is still running after 10 seconds is terminated with a SIGKILL. UAG Server will confirm that all processes in the process tree are terminated before it notifies the Controller of the termination.

To preserve compatibility with existing behavior, the default value for this option is no, which can prevent the termination of a process in the tree that ignores the SIGTERM signal. This may cause the task's status in the Universal Controller to show Cancelled although the (now orphaned) process continues to run.

Note

This new option has no effect on tasks running with sudo authority. Such tasks will not receive a SIGTERM signal and are always terminated immediately with a SIGKILL.

UEXT

To support integration with Universal Monitor tasks, receive information from the Controller that can by used to identify an Extension task launched via a Universal Monitor Trigger

Values received from the Controller are saved in the following properties:

  • self.uip.trigger_id - the Trigger UUID value set by the Controller that uniquely identifies the trigger instance. This will be undefined if the extension task was not launched by a Universal Monitor Trigger.
  • self.uip.instance_id - the EXECID set by the Controller than uniquely identifies the Extension task instance
  • self.uip.monitor_id - the Universal Monitor UUID that uniquely identifies the Universal Monitor instance. This will be undefined if the extension task was not launched by a Universal Monitor.

The Universal Extension base class sets the following property when a Trigger ID is received:

  • self.uip.is_triggered
    • If the Extension task was executed via a Universal Monitor Trigger, this property will be True. Otherwise, it is False.

Prevent an authentication error for a File Transfer task when the following conditions exist:

  • The File Transfer task uses Universal Data Mover (UDM)

  • A UDM script is used by the task

  • The UDM script issues the exec or execsap command

  • The exec or execsap command uses the pwd parameter
  • One of the built-in credential variables – $(ops_primary_cred_pwd) or $(ops_secondary_cred_pwd) -- is used for the pwd parameter's value

For example:

Code Block
titleUDM Script Statements
collapsetrue
open src=local dst=rmthost.ipaddr user=$(ops_secondary_cred_user) pwd=$(ops_secondary_cred_pwd)
exec src cmd="dir" user=$(ops_primary_cred_user) pwd=$(ops_primary_cred_pwd)

Starting with UA 7.0.0.0, this will cause the resolved $(ops_primary_cred_pwd) value in the exec statement to be enclosed in double quotes ("). The double quotes are retained when passed to UCMD Manager (or USAP for an execsap statement). The double quotes will prevent successful password authentication.
