Agent 7.2.0.0 - April 1, 2022
Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
---|---|---|---|
B-13286 | zOS | UAGSRV | 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. Note 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-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. Note 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-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. Note 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-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:
Note This problem was introduced by D-08997, delivered in UA 7.1.0.0. |
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. |
