Unix

UAGSRV

Ensure that failed attempts to launch child processes spawned by UAG Server (via the ./ubroker/sbin/cskern utility) are handled gracefully.

D-12304

z/OS

UAGSRV

Improves threading support for some OpenSSL functions to prevent UAG Server unexpected terminating with an exit code 8 or an 0C4 ABEND.

D-11676

Unix
Windows

UAGSRV

Fixes an intermittent issue where UAGSRV may terminate abnormally when stopped with the Universal Control utility (UCTL). The failure is not common and was observed only when the UAG Server JTSK_NUM configuration option was set to its maximum value of 64.

D-12222

z/OS

UAGRERUN
UAGU84
UAGUSI

Resolves unexpected behavior for a z/OS task, under the following conditions:

• The z/OS task contains a Step Condition that is defined treat an ABEND as an expected result, by specifying an action of Continue/Success

• A subsequent step in the z/OS task's JCL contains an EXEC COND= parameter that references the ABENDed step, that would normally prevent execution of the step

Prior to this fix, the EXEC COND= parameter is not honored when the ABEND occurs, and the step executes.

This fix ensures the Step Condition and the EXEC COND= configuration is honored.

D-12223

UAGSRV

Adds the Windows network error ERROR_UNEXP_NET_ERR (59) as a retry-able error condition for a Windows File Monitor task, when file monitor fault tolerance is enabled.

Resolves a performance issue when downloading a large SAP spool file.

UAGU83

Fixes a problem where an ABEND within the UAGU83 SMF exit module could cause RMF to terminate with an S0C1.

D-09964

Unix

UAGSRV

Ensure that all file descriptors are closed when an attempt to execute an Agent File Monitor task using credentials for a non-existent user is specified.

D-10316

Unix (except Solaris Intel)

USAP

Fix an issue that requires SAP credentials to be specified when using X.509 certificate authentication. It is now possible to execute USAP using only an X.509 certificate.

D-10510

z/OS

UDM
UDMSRV

Eliminate all "benign" ICH408I message occurrences from the RACF log. 

These messages would sometimes appear during UDM's processing, when checking for access to resources it required. UDM would silently ignore the situation that caused these messages, using an alternate execution path. This change will ensure that UDM takes no action that could result in these messages.

UAGSRV
UEXT

Correct the spelling of a credential's passphrase when referenced by a Universal Extension task. The previous spelling pasphrase is now corrected to passphrase.

For backward compatibility, pasphrase is still accepted, but new extensions should use the correct spelling as this backward compatibility could be lost in future releases.

B-13286

z/OS

UAGSRV

Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the primary_secondary value, which will instruct a Universal Agent configured with a SYSPLEX_ROLE of primary to start as a secondary Agent if another primary Agent is already running.

B-13287

z/OS

B-13292

z/OS

UAGSRV

Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the always_primary value, which will force an Agent whose SYSPLEX_ROLE is primary to always start as a Primary Agent. Any other Agent running as a Primary Agent will become a Secondary Agent when this Agent starts.
