UAGSRV
UAGU84
UAGUTIL

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.

Upgrade the OpenSSL library that Universal Agent uses to OpenSSL 3.0.14.
B-19912z/OSUAGSRV
UAGWMDBX

Provide the ability to access to Write-to-Operator (WTO) messages issued to different address spaces.

D-11270z/OSUAGSRVProvide 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-11929z/OSUAGSRV

Provide a new UAG Server configuration option, RERUN_BEFORE_INCLUDE, which is defined in UAGCFG00. This option controls whether a JCL INCLUDE statement should trigger the insertion of the UAGRERUN step.

Valid values and their meaning are as follows:

  • no -- a JCL INCLUDE statement will not trigger insertion of a UAGRERUN step. This is the default, which matches the behavior in previous versions.
  • yes – a UAGRERUN step is inserted ahead of a JCL INCLUDE statement.
D-12020Unix

z/OS		UDM
UDMSRV		Expands support for files whose names contain multibyte (i.e., Unicode) characters.
D-12493z/OSUAGCMDFail correctly when the -q or -t option is specified for UAGCMD on a platform that does not yet support TLS 1.3.
D-12505z/OSUAGSRV

Adds the following messages to provide better information when the UNVJSC cluster dataset is not found or fails to open:

  • UAG5656 - Dataset jscds must be a VSAM cluster, where jscds is the name of the UNVJSC dataset
  • UAG5657 - Dataset jscds could not be opened, where jscds is the name of the UNVJSC dataset
D-12506z/OSUAGRERUN

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-12543z/OSUAGRERUNEnsures that unexpired archived datasets are deleted by UAGRERUN's cleanup logic.
D-12564z/OSUAGSRVFix the value reported for the MIN_SSL_PROTOCOL option in the UNVAUDIT report.
D-12576z/OSUAGSRVRelax validation for UAG Server's AGENT_IP configuration option on z/OS to accept VIPA addresses.
D-12638z/OSUAGSRVWhen all steps selected for rerun FLUSH, ensure the task instance for that rerun ends with a Failed status.
D-12652z/OSUAGSRVDo not require a value for the CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option when SystemSSL is used and the Agent requests OMS Server authentication.
D-12670Unix
Windows
z/OS		UDMFixes a possible password exposure in a trace file when UDM executes on systems whose locale is not UTF-8.
