Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
---|---|---|---|
B-09236 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Enhance options used to override a CA-7 Schedule ID with the following changes:
|
B-15814 | z/OS | UAGSRV | 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. |
B-16966 | z/OS | UBROKER | 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. |
B-17780 | z/OS | UAGSRV UAGRERUN | Add support for z/OS tasks whose JCL contains a 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. |
B-17883 | All | INSTALL | Add PGP signatures to Universal Agent distribution files. For information on verifying these signatures, please refer to the following information. |
B-17927 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Provides support for the To disable this behavior, use the new UAGRERUN parameter NORDNR. To disable this behavior for all z/OS tasks, use the new RERUN_OPTIONS option in the UAG Server configuration member, UAGCFG00. |
B-18417 | z/OS | 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. |
B-18578 | All | OMS | Update the Agent to rely on a dynamically-generated key to decrypt sensitive information obtained from the Controller. This change deprecates the Universal Agent's AUTHVER configuration option. The option, if configured, will still be recognized by UAG Server, but will no longer be honored. |
B-18723 | z/OS | UAGUTIL | Provides an optional installation job, UNVIN14, that can be used to assist Agent configuration. This new job will automatically generate the UNVINV14 uses the |
D-10536 | z/OS | UAGSRV | 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. |
D-11383 | All | UAGSRV | 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. |
D-11431 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Always insert the UAGRERUN step ahead of any |
D-11889 | All | OMSSRV UAGSRV UBROKER UCMSRV UCTSRV UDMSRV UEMSRV | Changes the message digest used to sign internally-created self-signed certificates from SHA1 to SHA256 to prevent UC-OMS connection failures on newer Linux distributions |
D-12221 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Prevent a JCL error by ensuring that line numbers are not pulled into a JCL statement when
The fix also prevents truncation of JCL statements that contain in-line data with hexadecimal values. |
D-12222 | z/OS | UAGRERUN UAGU84 UAGUSI | Resolves unexpected behavior for a z/OS task, under the following conditions:
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. |
D-12304 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Improves threading support for some OpenSSL functions to prevent UAG Server unexpected terminating with an exit code 8 or an 0C4 ABEND. |
