Enhance options used to override a CA-7 Schedule ID with the following changes:

• Support lists and ranges of Schedule IDs with the #JI statement (e.g., #JI,ID=(1,3,5-8,12)).
• Accept #XI, #XO, and #XEND statements as synonyms for the #JI, #JO, and #JEND statements already supported by UAG Server

UAGSRV
UAGUTIL

Provides a local data store that holds job history that can be used manually rerun jobs originally executed by UAG Server.

Note that any job rerun in this manner is not monitored or tracked by the z/OS Universal Agent or Universal Controller.

This feature adds the UAG Server configuration options HISTORY_DATASET and HISTORY_RETENTION. A new installation job, UNVIN12, is provided to create and configure this new feature.

See the UAGRERUN Stand Alone Execution section in the Universal Agent User Guide for complete details.

Provides a change that causes the Universal Broker on z/OS to mount the UNVSPOOL file system with the zFS RWSHARE option to prevent sharing violations in a Sysplex configuration.

Add support for z/OS tasks whose JCL contains a JES2 /*ROUTE PRINT statement, to ensure proper output processing.

Prior to this change, output could be routed to another system before UAG Server had a chance to process it.

When UAG Server encounters this statement, it will use its JES_SYSOUT_CLASS configuration parameter to manage output processing and routing.

Add PGP signatures to Universal Agent distribution files.

For information on verifying these signatures, please refer to the following information.

UAGSRV
UAGRERUN

Update UAGRERUN behavior so that it deletes datasets prior to a run or rerun of a job, including those datasets whose expiration date has not passed.

Prior to this change, unexpired datasets were not deleted by UAGRERUN's dataset cleanup processing.

OMS
UAGSRV

Provides an optional installation job, UNVIN14, that can be used to assist Agent configuration. This new job will automatically generate the EXIT ADD statements that should be added to a SYS1.PARMLIB PROGxx member to ensure SMF exits used by the Agent are configured correctly.

UNVINV14 uses the SYS1.PARMLIB SMFPRMxx as input and generates a list of missing exit point definitions and/or SMF record types.

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.

Fixes a UAG Server crash that may occur when multiple Remote File Monitor instances finish at the same moment as a new instance is starting.

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.

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.

Resolves unexpected behavior for a z/OS task, under the following conditions:

• The z/OS task contains a Step Condition that is defined treat an ABEND as an expected result, by specifying an action of Continue/Success
• 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.
