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.

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 | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
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). |

z/OS
UAGSRV
Add automatic failover support for Agents configured to execute in a sysplex environment.
The following items were delivered for UA 7.1.0.0 to support this feature:
- B-13184: Allow a secondary agent to become a primary agent upon failover.
- B-13186: Allow a primary agent to become a secondary agent upon failover.
- B-13283: Provide the ability to configure a failover hierarchy, to determine the order in which secondary agents are chosen to become the new primary agent.
- B-13284: Provide the ability to stop a Universal Broker started task WITHOUT initiating a failover.
- B-13285: Provide the ability to stop a Universal Broker started task AND initiate a failover.
- B-13291: Allow a new primary agent to receive tracking data for jobs submitted or executed by the previous primary agent.
- B-13964: Ensure that licenses obtained from Universal Controller are handled properly within the updated primary and secondary agents whenever a failover occurs
| Note | ||
|---|---|---|

To ensure proper accounting for z/OS licenses, we recommend that all UAG Servers configured to run in a sysplex environment use the same value for the UAG Server’s NETNAME configuration option. |
B-13885
z/OS
UBROKER
Suppress ICH408I messages in the RACF log when running the Broker with a user without BPX.SUPERUSER access.
This message is an expected response to a check of authority level, but repeated checks result in several instances of the ICH408I message appear in the log.

z/OS
UDM
UDMSRV
Prevent a S0C4 when executing transfers of UTF16-encoded datasets.
D-09852
Unix
z/OS
UDM
UDMSRV
Ensure that the message that shows the result of the CD command displays correctly.
This issue was most visible on zOS, but could occur on any Linux/Unix system whose default locale is not UTF8.
D-10189
z/OS
PKG
Fix a problem that prevented the installation of hlq.SUNVSAMP(UBRDBSPZ).
D-10210
All
UDM
UDMSRV
Scrubs any password specified with the OPEN statement from trace file output.
D-10256
All
UDM
Fixes a crash that could occur if the UDM Manager message level was set to “trace” from the command line.
D-10346
z/OS
UAGSRV
Fixes a problem that prevented a zOS CHANGE File Monitor task from storing a renamed dataset’s new name in Universal Control variables.
D-10426
z/OS
UBROKER
Fixes a problem that prevented UBROKER startup while loading the UNVACTRT SMF exit.
D-10474
z/OS
UCMD
UCTL
UDM
UEM
UFTP
Prevent a situation in which command line parameters provided via a SYSIN statement were ignored if they followed a password on the same line.
For example, given the following:
//SYSIN DD * -userid uid -pwd password -level info /*
//SYSIN DD *
-userid uid -pwd password
-level info
/* 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.
| ||||||||
| B-13287 | zOS | UAGSRV | 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.
| |||||
| B-13288 | zOS | UAGSRV | Added 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-13292 | zOS | UAGSRV | 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.
| |||||
| B-14036 | All | UFTP | 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-10531 | zOS | 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:
| |||||
| D-10556 | zOS | UAGSRV | 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-10676 | All | UFTP | Ensures that UFTP will not crash when used to transfer a comma-separated list of files from z/OS using the MGET command. | |||||
| D-10687 | zOS | UAGSRV | 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. |
