UAGSRV

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

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

Windows

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.

Fixes a problem where UAG Server memory's consumption may gradually increase following repeated, forced reconnections to OMS Server.

D-11137

UAGSRV

Restore the ability for Windows file monitor tasks to correctly interpret file paths that contain a double backslash (i.e., \\).

D-11156

Unix

UAGSRV

Ensure that all file descriptors are properly closed when a task fails because credentials were specified for a user account that does not exist.

D-11178

Unix

UAGSRV

Fixes an issue that could result in excessive CPU consumption when UAG Server launches and/or executes several different task types concurrently.

D-11335

UAGSRV

Fixes an issue that prevents successful completion of a Change file monitor instance when the file path contains double backslashes (i.e., \\) or a single forward slash (i.e., /). Prior to this fix, the task instance remains in a Running status.

D-11424

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

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.

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

UAGSRV

Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the secondary_primary[n] value, where n is an optional numeric value that sets a priority to determine which secondary Agent (among several active secondary Agents) will take over as primary.

B-13288

z/OS

UAGSRV

Added the (mutually-exclusive) ZOS_JOB_SYSAFF and ZOS_JOB_SYSTEM configuration options that can manage a zOS task's execution via a SYSAFF or SYSTEM JOB card parameter, respectively.

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.

B-14071

Unix

UAGSRV

Add the KILL_PROCESS_TREE option to control how UAG Server responds to a Cancel task command from Universal Controller. When yes, the entire process tree is terminated via SIGTERM. Any process within the tree that is still running after 10 seconds is terminated with a SIGKILL. UAG Server will confirm that all processes in the process tree are terminated before it notifies the Controller of the termination.

To preserve compatibility with existing behavior, the default value for this option is no, which can prevent the termination of a process in the tree that ignores the SIGTERM signal. This may cause the task's status in the Universal Controller to show Cancelled although the (now orphaned) process continues to run.

UFTP

Add the ability to retrieve values from the Universal Controller File Transfer Task form that support transfers using explicit FTPS (that is, FTP with SSL).

Fix an issue introduced in UA 7.1.0.0, where a Universal Task fails to properly resolve resolvable credentials when the credential variable is enclosed in double quotes.

D-10687

z/OS

UAGSRV

When running a File Transfer Task via a z/OS Agent, if the Local and/or Remote Filename values exceeded 72 characters, UAG Server failed to properly format the SYSIN DD statement in the JCL used to execute UFTP.

The z/OS Agent now ensures that such values are properly terminated at column 72 and continued to the next line.
