11929z/OSUAGSRV

When the Universal Agent AGENT_IP configuration option specifies an IP address instead of a host name, eliminate the UNV0182E 'Cannot resolve' error, and accept the IP address as entered.

D-11431z/OSUAGSRV

Always insert the UAGRERUN step ahead of any IF statements in the JCL. This will ensure that UAGRERUN is executed ahead of any initial EXEC or PROC statement that may be enclosed within an IF statement.

D-12221z/OSUAGSRV

Prevent a JCL error by ensuring that line numbers are not pulled into a JCL statement when

  • The JCL used for a z/OS task contains line numbers, and
  • A z/OS task variable is replaced with a value that is shorter than the variable name

The fix also prevents truncation of JCL statements that contain in-line data with hexadecimal values.

...

Provide a new UAG Server configuration option, rerun_before_include, which is defined in UAGCFG00. This option controls whether a JCL INCLUDE statement should trigger the insertion of the UAGRERUN step.

Valid values and their meaning are as follows:

  • no -- a JCL INCLUDE statement will not trigger insertion of a UAGRERUN step. This is the default, which matches the behavior in previous versions.
  • yes – a UAGRERUN step is inserted ahead of a JCL INCLUDE statement.

  • 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.

Update OpenSSL implementation to support TLS 1.3 sessions.

This feature provides the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol - controls TLS session negotiation by limiting the protocol that will be used
  • ctl_/data_ssl_cipher_suites (availability of these options varies by component) - allows the following TLS 1.3 cipher suites to be specified separately from – and mutually exclusive with – earlier TLS 1.x ciphers
    • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
    • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
    • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

The ability to enable TLS 1.3 across all Universal Agent components is available at install time via the --use_tls1_3 command line option (the Windows system mode install provides the equivalent USE_TLS1_3 command line property). When yes, this option sets the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol to "tls1_3" in omss.conf, uags.conf, uftp.conf, ubroker.conf, ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, uctl.conf, udm.conf, udms.conf, uem.conf, and upps.conf.

  • encrypt to "yes" in ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, and udm.conf

The interactive Windows installs also provides a new dialog with an option that, when checked, enables this configuration. This dialog is available for new installs and for upgrades from releases prior to 7.4.0.0.

Increase the maximum message size that can be transferred between UAG Server and OMS Server from 6 MB to 1 GB. 

The maximum message size allowed can be configured via the new OMS Server configuration option, MAX_MSG_SIZE. Similarly, a new MSG_CHUNK_OPTION option is provided to specify the maximum size for any single message transmitted. Any payload that exceeds this size will be split into multiple messages until the entire payload is transferred.

B-16116z/OSUAGSRV

Using the new RERUN_PROC_NAME option, allows customized JCL that executes the UAGRERUN utility to be inserted into a job executed from a z/OS task.

B-16745Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows		UAGSRV

Updates the handling for the EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST, which allows users to configure an ordered list of Python interpreters to use for Universal Extension task execution.

Previously, the Python provided by the Universal Agent were installed, it would always be evaluated first. However, there were times where another Python that also satisfied the extension's requirement was preferred. As long as the Agent's Python was installed, the other Python would not be chosen.

With this change, if the Agent's Python is included in the EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST value, the default ordering of the list is disabled and the Agent's Python is evaluation in the order in which it appears in the list.

Update OpenSSL implementation to support TLS 1.3 sessions.

This feature provides the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol - controls TLS session negotiation by limiting the protocol that will be used
  • ctl_/data_ssl_cipher_suites (availability of these options varies by component) - allows the following TLS 1.3 cipher suites to be specified separately from – and mutually exclusive with – earlier TLS 1.x ciphers
    • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
    • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
    • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

The ability to enable TLS 1.3 across all Universal Agent components is available at install time via the --use_tls1_3 command line option (the Windows system mode install provides the equivalent USE_TLS1_3 command line property). When yes, this option sets the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol to "tls1_3" in omss.conf, uags.conf, uftp.conf, ubroker.conf, ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, uctl.conf, udm.conf, udms.conf, uem.conf, and upps.conf.

  • encrypt to "yes" in ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, and udm.conf

The interactive Windows installs also provides a new dialog with an option that, when checked, enables this configuration. This dialog is available for new installs and for upgrades from releases prior to 7.4.0.0.
