B-21212 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Provide sysplex support for the z/OS External Monitor task. |
D-11405 | z/OS | USAP | Fixes the situation in which a job name longer than 14 characters may result in an error message stating that the variant "exceeds maximum allowed size of 14 bytes". |
D-12841 | z/OS | UDM UDMSRV | Allow multiple sessions to be created from a single UDM script when SystemSSL is used. |
D-12826 | All | UAGSRV | Fixes 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. |
Agent 7.7.0.0 - October 1, 2024
Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
---|---|---|---|
B-06499 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Provide the ability to monitor IBM z/OS jobs executed outside of the Universal Controller. The Universal Controller 7.7.0.0 release provides a new z/OS Monitor task type and associated z/OS Monitor Trigger that can report the status of these jobs and direct additional work based on the monitor's completion. |
B-18371 | All (except HP-UX) | OMSSRV | Upgrade the OpenSSL library that Universal Agent uses to OpenSSL 3.0.14. |

D-11270 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Provide message UAG5656E Dataset <dsname> specified for <jcl_save_library> cannot be found to make UAG Server start failures that occur due to missing JCL_SAVE_LIBRARY datasets more clear. |
D-11929 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Provide a new UAG Server configuration option, RERUN_BEFORE_INCLUDE, which is defined in Valid values and their meaning are as follows:
|
D-12020 | Unix Windows z/OS | UDM UDMSRV | Expands support for files whose names contain multibyte (i.e., Unicode) characters. |
D-12493 | z/OS | UAGCMD | Fail correctly when the -q or -t option is specified for UAGCMD on a platform that does not yet support TLS 1.3. |
D-12505 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Adds the following messages to provide better information when the UNVJSC cluster dataset is not found or fails to open:
|
D-12506 | z/OS | UAGRERUN | Improve error messaging when UAGRERUN executes on a system that does not have UAG Server. For example, when z/OS Workload Manager routes a job to a non-Agent system within a Sysplex, include a clear description of the error and the system on which UAGRERUN ran. |
D-12543 | z/OS | UAGRERUN | Ensures that unexpired archived datasets are deleted by UAGRERUN's cleanup logic. |
D-12564 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Fix the value reported for the MIN_SSL_PROTOCOL option in the UNVAUDIT report. |
D-12576 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Relax validation for UAG Server's AGENT_IP configuration option on z/OS to accept VIPA addresses. |
