Description

D-10510z/OSUDM
UDMSRV
PS32008
PS32009

Eliminate all "benign" ICH408I message occurrences from the RACF log. 

These messages would sometimes appear during UDM's processing, when checking for access to resources it required. UDM would silently ignore the situation that caused these messages, using an alternate execution path. This change will ensure that UDM takes no action that could result in these messages. 

D-10727z/OSUCMDPS32006Fix an issue that prevented a z/OS UCMD Manager from performing a success network fault tolerant (NFT) recovery when SystemSSL was used.
D-10910AllUBROKERPS32007Fix a memory leak that, if left unchecked, could require frequent Universal Broker restarts.
D-10934AllUBROKERPS32007Fix a memory leak that could occur within the Universal Broker Memory when responding to a UAG Server configuration refresh request

Fix a situation in which the step that executes the UAGRERUN utility is inserted into a z/OS task's JCL at an unexpected/unsupported location
D-11118AllUAGSRVPS32003Fix a situation in which tasks could end with a Start Failure or say in a Queued status if the Agent's hostname is longer than 62 characters.

Description

B-13286z/OSUAGSRV

Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the primary_secondary value, which will instruct a Universal Agent configured with a SYSPLEX_ROLE of primary to start as a secondary Agent if another primary Agent is already running.

Info
titleNote

The AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option continues to support a default value of never, which will disable automatic failover and will require failovers to be managed manually via a Universal Broker MODIFY command. 


B-13287z/OSUAGSRV

Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the secondary_primary[n] value, where n is an optional numeric value that sets a priority to determine which secondary Agent (among several active secondary Agents) will take over as primary.

Info
titleNote

The AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option continues to support a default value of never, which will disable automatic failover and will require failovers to be managed manually via a Universal Broker MODIFY command. 


B-13288z/OSUAGSRVAdded the (mutually-exclusive) ZOS_JOB_SYSAFF and ZOS_JOB_SYSTEM configuration options that can manage a z/OS task's execution via a SYSAFF or SYSTEM JOB card parameter, respectively.
B-13292z/OSUAGSRV

Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the always_primary value, which will force an Agent whose SYSPLEX_ROLE is primary to always start as a Primary Agent. Any other Agent running as a Primary Agent will become a Secondary Agent when this Agent starts.

Info
titleNote

The AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option continues to support a default value of never, which will disable automatic failover and will require failovers to be managed manually via a Universal Broker MODIFY command. 


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. 

D-10417

z/OS

UAGSRVFix an issue that prevents a z/OS Agent using IBM System SSL (that is, RACF-based keyrings) from connecting to an OMS Server.
D-10531z/OS

UDM

UDMSRV

Fix an issue where an attempt to transfer PDS members from z/OS using UDM may result in an S0C4 ABEND.

When this occurs, the following error is reported:

CEE3204S The system detected a protection exception (System Completion Code=0C4).
From entry point UPdsRead at compile unit offset +00000398 at entry offset +00000398 at address 0A5B5030.

Note
titleNote

This problem was introduced by D-08997, delivered in UA 7.1.0.0.



D-10556z/OSUAGSRV

Fix an issue that prevented a file monitor task from locating datasets when a wildcard is used as the first character in the dataset pattern.

This restores behavior that existed prior to Universal Agent 7.0.0.0.

D-10676AllUFTPEnsures that UFTP will not crash when used to transfer a comma-separated list of files from z/OS using the MGET command.
D-10687z/OSUAGSRV

When running a File Transfer Task via a z/OS Agent, if the Local and/or Remote Filename values exceeded 72 characters, UAG Server failed to properly format the SYSIN DD statement in the JCL used to execute UFTP.

The z/OS Agent now ensures that such values are properly terminated at column 72 and continued to the next line.
