Change IDPlatformsComponentDescription

Provides support for a configurable UAG Server END SEVERITY option that is applied to tasks launched on the IBM i platform.

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-12991IBMiPKGUpdated the UCHGRLS program to all tagging and un-tagging for Universal Agent version 5.1.1.
D-13071IBMiUSMBJOBEnsure that USMBMJOB can handle multiple libraries in the INLIBL option.
