USAP
UPPS

Expand the number of characters supported for password values by creating a custom parsing routine to handle them. Relaxes some rules for specifying passwords, such as permitting values that start with or contain characters traditionally used for delimiting command line options.

B-11140
B-11141

All

UFTP

Provide distinct exit codes for different situations like connection failures or authentication errors.

The follow set of exit codes are now possible:

  • General fatal error
    • Unix: 202
    • Windows, z/OS: 1002

B-12368

All

UAGSRV

Remove ability to configure the enable_ssl option. The ability to create an SSL connection with an OMS Server is always enabled.

NOTE: The OMS Server’s require_ssl option will ultimately determine whether the connection uses SSL.

B-12442

Unix
Windows

PKG

Remove the ability to configure the enable_ssl option for UAGSRV at install time.

B-12368 delivered a change whereby the ability for UAGSRV to create an SSL connection with an OMS Server is always enabled.

B-12884

All

UDM

Expand the set of characters that a UDM script can support for password values.

B-12928
B-13265

Unix
Windows

Python

Provide the new and updated external modules list below in the Python Distribution for Universal Agent.

Modules are only provided by the Linux Intel RPM and Debian packages and Windows, except where noted.

  • azure-storage-blob==12.7.1 (All Linux, Windows)
  • azure-store-blob==12.1.0 (AIX and Solaris only)
  • cx_Oracle==8.0.1
  • hdbcli==2.7.3
  • hdfs==2.5.8
  • Kubernetes==12.0.1
  • pyodbc==4.0.30

Removed from all except AIX and Solaris SPARC:

  • azure-storage-logging==0.5.1

NOTE: The HP-UX agent install does not provide a Python distribution.

B-12986
B-12994

Unix
Windows

UEXT

Provide the new Universal Extension for Unix and Windows.

NOTE:

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.  

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

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

Windows 

UBROKER

During local license mapping – when the Broker attempts to read locally-configured license information for licensed components – prevent the error below if the configuration file for a particular component is not found.

UNV3380E [1000000001] Error retrieving configuration for product 'xxxx': CFMGetConfigBufferByProdName, 4, configuration name 'xxxx' not found

 where ‘xxxx’ is the component name (for example, uacs).

D-09177

All

UFTP

Prevent the error:

UNV0106E Invalid value for option ‘pwd’: Missing value

When a password starts with a dash (‘-‘).

D-09193

Unix
Windows

UAGSRV

Ensure that a CREATE file monitor (with stability checking selected) ends if the file is removed. This prevents the file monitor from continuing to run when the file is deleted or moved.

D-09913

All

UFTP

Fix handling of comma-separated lists for MGET, MPUT, and MDELETE operations

D-09994

All

UBROKER

D-10009

Unix
Windows

UFTP

Prevent the error:

UNV6690E ProcessDirCommand failed: (2) cURL reports quote command failed.

When the MKDIR command is used with the SFTP protocol.

D-10080

All

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.

D-10104

All

USAP

Fix failure to execute SAP Business Warehouse tasks following licensing updates in UA 6.9.0.0.

NOTE: A fix for this is also available in the UA 6.9.0.1 and 6.9.0.2 maintenance releases.

D-10105

All

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.

UEXT 

Create a VisualStudio Code plugin to interact with the new uip command line utility delivered by B-13991.  

Note
titleNote

The HP-UX and z/OS agents do not provide the Universal Extension.


B-14049 

Unix
Windows 

UAGSRV 

UEXT 

Ensure that any instances of a password exposed by a Universal Extension task are scrubbed from the UAG Server cache files. 

B-14255 

Windows 

UEXT 

Extend the uip utility delivered by B-13989 with an init command that can be used to initialize a working directory (e.g., a local Git repository) for Universal Extension development. 

Please see the Universal Extension development documentation for information on the new “uip” utility. 

Note
titleNote

D-07313 

Unix 
Windows 

UAGSRV 

Improve message handling and separation to prevent possible message loss. 

D-09666 

Windows 

UAGSRV 

Fixes a problem when the -uagstdio option is specified for additional UCMD Options and one or more of that option’s values contains double quotes that must be preserved. 

D-10171 

Windows 

UAGSRV 

Prevent the agent.log from being inherited by tasks spawned by the Agent. This fixes a problem that caused the agent.log’s scheduled rollover at midnight to fail if Agent tasks were running. 

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-10328 

Unix 
Windows 

UEXT 

Fixes a problem that causes a requires_python value with a wildcard to be ignored when used with operator other than == or != (e.g., requires_python >= 3.*) 

Note

D-10371 

Unix 
Windows 

OMSSRV 

Prevents re-delivery of OMS messages following automatic recovery executed against a corrupted, truncated data file. 

D-10415 

Windows 

UAGSRV 

Fixes an issue introduced in UA 7.0.0.0 that caused incorrect translation of UTF8 characters in Windows scripts. 

D-10435 

Windows 

UCMD 
UCTL 
UDM 
UFTP 

Issue a configuration error when the DES-CBC-SHA cipher is specified from a Windows component. 

 This cipher was deprecated in a previous release and since then, Agent server components would fail to negotiate a session with a manager component that only requested the DES-CBC-SHA cipher. However, the value itself should have been flagged during configuration processing and not presented to the server.
