Note

Release 7.7.2.0 - December 9, 2025

Change IdPlatformComponentDescription
B-18732Unix (except Solaris)
Windows

OMSSRV
UAGSRV
UEXT
UFTP

Explicitly set and expose the OpenTelemetry schema URL used for traces and metrics exposed by the Universal Agent and Universal Extension tasks. 

Providing the schema URL with each trace message or metric provides information about the format of the data being exported and details the semantic conventions used by the OpenTelemetry library 3pp vendor library.

B-22163

Unix (except Solaris)
Windows

OMSSRV
UAGSRV
UFTP

Add support to export traces and metrics in protobuf binary format. Provides the new OTEL_HTTP_TRACE_PROTOCOL and OTEL_HTTP_METRICS_PROTOCOL configuration options to switch between JSON and binary (the default) encoding.


Default Behavior Change

This item was first delivered in the UA 7.9.0.0 release.

For the December 2025 maintenance releases, the default encoding for all supported Agent versions (incl., 7.6.1, 7.7.2, and 7.8.3)  was changed from JSON to protobuf binary.

Universal Extension tasks using OpenTelemetry features now require Python 3.8 or higher.

D-14051AllUAGSRVFixes an issue where the UAG Server's configured SERVICE_TIMEOUT value is ignored when receiving messages from OMS. This fix will decrease the time it takes for UAG Server to detect a dropped connection with OMS, which will in turn decrease connection recovery times.

Release 7.7.1.11 - November 11, 2025

Change IdPlatformComponentDescription
D-09802

Unix
Windows

UBROKER

When the path to a Universal Broker's .ipc file – which is used to support the Universal Broker's component interface on Unix systems – is greater than 80 characters, its value inside the ubroker.bif file (see UBROKER_BIF) is truncated. This will cause Universal Broker startup to fail. This fix provides support for a file path up to 2000 characters (subject to system to system limits imposed by some platforms).


Note

There were code changes made for this defect that are shared between Unix and Windows implementations. However, the Universal Agent for Windows uses TCP/IP for the Universal Broker's component interface. This means that the values saved in the ubroker.bif file for Windows were not affected by this defect and will not change.

Release 7.7.1.10 - October 14, 2025

Change IdPlatformComponentDescription
D-11976

PYTHONDecrease the size of the Universal Agent's Python distribution in order to decrease the overall size of the Universal Agent distribution file.

Agent 7.7.1.8 - July 8, 2025

Change IdPlatformComponentDescription
D-09780Unix
Windows
z/OS
UBROKERPrevents a Universal Broker crash following successful Manager Fault Tolerant (MFT) recovery of a UCMD Manager task. In this situation, recovery processing was successful. The crash occurred as the Broker cleaned up tracking records stored in its BerkeleyDB database files.
D-13589

Unix (Solaris only)

INSTALLFixes a problem with Universal Agent upgrades on Solaris that could cause Universal Extension tasks to fail. The failures only occur if the Universal Extension API changed between your installed version and the upgraded version. The fix provided in this maintenance will ensure that existing Universal Extension tasks execute successfully following the upgrade.

Agent 7.7.1.7 - June 10, 2025

Change IdPlatformComponentDescription
D-13463Unix
Windows
UAGSRVFixes a problem where a Universal Extension Task that defines a field with a percent sign (%) in its value may be misinterpreted by UAG Server, causing it to crash.

Agent 7.7.1.6 - May 13, 2025

Change IdPlatformComponentDescription
D-11317UnixUAGSRVImproves trace file messaging for an Agent File Monitor task that executes on a Linux/Unix Agent. Messages are now consistent with those written for Agent File Monitor tasks that execute on Windows Agents.
D-12016

Unix
Windows
z/OS

UCMD
UCMSRV
UDM
UDMSRV
UFTP
Library dependencies updated due to vulnerabilities.
D-12785AllAllImprove data security by making sure all references to sensitive data are cleared before the memory holding that data is freed.

Note that no memory was leaked nor was any sensitive data exposed prior to this change. This change applies to the way in which the Universal Agent applications are built. Some compilers may "skip" a call to clear memory in situations where that that memory is immediately freed in the next statement. This is an undesirable optimization, and this change prevents the call to clear the memory from being skipped.
D-12805UnixUEM
UEMSRV
Fixes a problem where UEM tries to monitor a symbolic link on a Linux system that resides in a world-writeable directory.
D-13270AllUAGSRVFixes a problem where a Universal Broker started with the command line option -dest stderr failed to honor the UAGLOGLVL environment variable.
D-13397Unix (Linux Intel only)INSTALL

A Universal Agent install or upgrade on Linux Intel (the RPM or Debian package) would replace file permissions for the /etc/universal/uai_log4jConfiguration.xml file, which is used by the Universal Agent for SOA. This change preserves that file's permissions.

This issue only affects users of the Universal Agent for SOA product.

D-13418UnixUDM
UDMSRV
Add support for the rdw session attribute for UDM sessions that execute on Linux/Unix.

This change allows users to inform UDM that a file transferred from Linux/Unix to z/OS contains RDW that can either be discarded or retained on a transfer to z/OS. This attribute was previously available on Windows and z/OS only.

Agent 7.7.1.5 - April 8, 2025

Change IdPlatformComponentDescription
D-01220AllUBROKEREnsure that the function responsible for removing records from the Universal Event Subsystem (UES) database processes always processes 1000 records with each iteration. Previously, the function always deleted the first 1000 records, causing the removal of subsequent records to be delayed.
D-13177Unix
Windows
USAPFixes an issue that caused USAP XBP 2.0 API calls to fail when the MAX_XBP configuration option was set to 2.0 and only XBP 2.0 was available on the SAP system. 

Agent 7.7.1.4 - March 11, 2025

Note

No UNIX changes were delivered for the Universal Agent 7.7.1.4 maintenance release.


Agent 7.7.1.3 - February 11, 2025

Change IDPlatformsComponentDescription
D-12474AllUSAPFixed issue where EXTERNAL_STEP or EXTERNAL_COMMAND statements were not allowed to come directly after a temporary variant content statement in a USAP job definition file.
D-13128Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows

UEXT

Eliminates the "Exception while exporting metrics..." message that appears in a Universal Extension task's stderr when OTEL_EXPORT_METRICS is disabled. By design, no metrics should be exported when OTEL_EXPORT_METRICS is set to NO.


Agent 7.7.1.2 - January 14, 2025

Note

No UNIX changes were delivered for the Universal Agent 7.7.1.2 maintenance release.

Agent 7.7.1.1 - December 10, 2024

Change IDPlatformsComponentDescription
D-13034Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows

UEXT

Ensure that binaries bundled with an extension (using the zip_safe=false option) retain the necessary execute permissions when unbundled by the Agent.

Agent 7.7.1.0 - November 12, 2024

Change IDPlatformsComponentDescription
B-21229Unix (Linux only)
Windows

UPPS

Expands Application Fault Tolerant behavior by enhancing the UPPS configuration option, APPL_RETRY_MSG_IDS. The option now provides the ability to select specific message sets and status codes which should cause interrupted Web service calls to be retried.
D-12826AllUAGSRVFixes a situation in which UAG Server may not receive OMS messages, causing submitted tasks to stay in a Queued state, although the Universal Agent is still successfully sending heartbeat messages to the Controller.
D-12913

Unix
