Release 6.9.0.2 - April 9, 2021
The 6.9.0.2 maintenance release provides packages for all platforms except Solaris Intel and z/OS.
The only component version changing for this release is:
- Universal Connector for SAP - 6.9.0.2
Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
D-10104 | Unix | USAP | Fixes an error introduced by licensing changes delivered with 6.9.0.0. The error prohibits execution of Business Warehouse functionality for locally-configured and Controller-obtained licenses. This fix is to only require a valid USAP license to enable Business Warehouse functionality. NOTE: Previously delivered for Linux Intel RPM and Debian packages as 6.9.0.1. |
D-10105 | Unix | 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. |
Release 6.9.0.1 - January 22, 2021
The 6.9.0.1 maintenance release provides packages only for the following platforms:
- Linux RPM (x86_64)
- Linux Debian (x86_64)
Most components still are 6.9.0.0, with the following exceptions:
Universal Broker | 6.9.0.1 |
Universal Command Server | 6.9.0.1 |
Universal Connector for SAP | 6.9.0.1 |
Universal Control Server | 6.9.0.1 |
Universal Data Mover Manager | 6.9.0.1 |
Universal Data Mover Server | 6.9.0.1 |
Universal Message Service (OMS) Server | 6.9.0.1 |
Python Distribution for Universal Agent | Added Kubernetes external module |
Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-10104 | Linux x86_64 | USAP | Fixes an error introduced by licensing changes delivered with 6.9.0.0. The error prohibits execution of Business Warehouse functionality for locally-configured and Controller-obtained licenses. This fix is to only require a valid USAP license to enable Business Warehouse functionality. |
B-10106 | Linux x86_64 | OMSSRV | Increase the RSA key length in internal self-signed X.509 certificates used to secure communication between the Universal Broker and Universal Agent server components. This will address failures reported in some RedHat 8 environments running with default security settings. |
B-12928 | Linux x86_64 | PYTHON | Added the Kubernetes 12.0.1 module to the external modules provided in the Universal Agent’s Python 3.7 distribution. Note The Change ID for this item also will appear in the next major Universal Agent release. This maintenance release includes a subset of work already completed for the next major Universal Agent release. That work will also be delivered under this Change ID. |
