USAP

Fixes a problem introduced in the UA 7.1.0.1 release by D-10828, where model jobs whose jobnames were less than 32 characters would fail upon execution. With this fix, model jobs with jobnames less than or equal to 32 characters will execute successfully.

Note

Because the UA 7.1.0.2 release only contains a fix for USAP and USAP is not provided for Solaris Intel, no 7.1.0.2 package is available for that platform. As of this writing, the most recent Agent package available for Solaris Intel is UA 7.1.0.1.

Unix

UAGSRV

Fix a problem where File Monitor tasks do not honor a specified stable period if there are multiple file monitor instances running with the same credentials.

Note

This item may be identified in other UA releases as D-10568 or D-10715.

D-10707

All

UAGSRV

Prevent a deadlock that may occur when a CHANGE File Monitor instance detects new matching files.

Windows

UAGSRV

When an SAP task instance is cancelled, ensure that the associated Universal Connector for SAP (USAP) process is cancelled as well.

Note

This item was originally delivered in UA 7.2.0.0 as D-10403.
D-10711UnixUBROKER

When the Universal Broker daemon encounters an EPIPE when attempting to log a message to unv.log, close the existing log file and resume logging to a new file.

Note

This item was originally delivered in UA 7.2.0.0 as D-10530.

D-10718

All

UDM
UDMSRV

Prevent an authentication error for a File Transfer task when the following conditions exist:

  • File Transfer task uses Universal Data Mover (UDM)

  • UDM script is used by the task

  • UDM script issues the exec or execsap command

  • exec or execsap command uses the pwd parameter
  • One of the built-in credential variables – $(ops_primary_cred_pwd) or $(ops_secondary_cred_pwd) -- is used for the pwd parameter's value

For example:

UDM Script Statements
open src=local dst=rmthost.ipaddr user=$(ops_secondary_cred_user) pwd=$(ops_secondary_cred_pwd)
exec src cmd="dir" user=$(ops_primary_cred_user) pwd=$(ops_primary_cred_pwd)

Starting with UA 7.0.0.0, this will cause the resolved $(ops_primary_cred_pwd) value in the exec statement to be enclosed in double quotes ("). The double quotes are retained when passed to UCMD Manager (or USAP for an execsap statement). The double quotes will prevent successful password authentication.

Note

This item was originally delivered in UA 7.2.0.0 as D-10523.

D-10728

Prevent a failure when a model job uses a jobname of exactly 32 characters in length.

Agent 7.1.0.0 - October 4, 2021

Change ID

Platforms

Component

Description

B-10691 

All 

UAGSRV 
UFTP 

Add explicit FTPS (FTPES) support to UFTP. 

Enables transfers using TLS/SSL over connection to standard FTP port 21, provided the FTP server supports it. 

To request TLS/SSL from a Remote File Transfer or Remote File Monitor task, select the FTP protocol and prepend ftpes:// to the FTP server host name or IP address (e.g., ftpes://somehost). If the FTP server has enabled TLS/SSL support, the connection will proceed using encrypted communication. If TLS/SSL support is NOT enabled, a plain text session/transfer is done. 

The UFTP ENABLE_SSL configuration option (default:no) is provided to always request a TLS/SSL session, eliminating the need to specify the ftpes:// prefix. 

The UFTP AUTHENTICATE_PEER configuration option (default: no) is provided to control FTP server certificate authentication. When set to “yes”, the UFTP CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option must specify a CA certificate that can authenticate the FTP server’s certificate. 

B-12809 

All
(except HP-UX and Solaris Intel)
 

USAP 

Update USAP to support the RSPARAMSL_255 data type for variants. The following USAP operations may now take advantage of this change: 

  • SUBMIT variant using a variant definition file 
  • MODIFY variant using a variant definition file 
  • DISPLAY variant 
  • GENERATE variant definition 
  • SUBMIT job from job definition file with inline temporary variant. SAP LOW and HIGH data types to support up to 255 chars

These changes are supported for XBP 2.0 and XBP 3.0, but full 255-character support ultimately depends on the SAP function module implementation.  

Note

For the most consistent RSPARAMSL_255 support, Stonebranch recommends using SAP NW RFC library version 7.5.x and XBP 3.0 (controlled via the USAP XBP_MAX configuration option).

B-13316 

Unix (except HP-UX) 
Windows 

UFTP 

Update SSH Key Exchange and Cipher support for SFTP transfers.  

Provides better compatibility with default OpenSSH configurations, by making the following changes to supported key exchange methods: 

Added: 

  • ecdh-sha2-nistp521 
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp384 
  • ecdh-sha2-nistp256 
  • curve25519-sha26

Removed: 

  • diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha 
  • diffie-helman-group14-sha1 
  • diffie-helman-group1-sha1

The diffie-helman-group-exchange-sha256 key exchange method was left unchanged. 

Support for the following ciphers was added: 

  • AES-256-CTR 
  • AES-192-CTR 
  • AES-128-CTR

Support for the following ciphers was left unchanged: 

  • AES-256-GCM 
  • AES-128-GCM 
  • AES-256-CBC 
  • AES-192-CBC 
  • AES-128-CBC 

B-13768

B-13819 

Unix 
Windows 

UEXT 

Provide the UAGSRV EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST configuration option to extend the list of locations searched for Python instances that may be used by Universal Extension tasks.

Note

  • EXTENSION_ACCEPT_LIST 
  • EXTENSION_DEPLOY_ON_REGISTRATION 
  • EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST 

Note

The HP-UX and z/OS agents do not provide the Universal Extension.


B-13821

Unix
Windows
 

UEXT 

Update the values supported via the requires_python declaration of a Universal Extension implementation as follows: 

  • Support wildcards in the version specification (for example, “==2.7.*”). 
  • Support an exclusive range of versions via the > and < operators (for example, “> 2.6, < 4”).
  • Support an inclusive range of versions via the >= and <= operator (for example, “> 3.7.6”). 

Note

The HP-UX and z/OS agents do not provide the Universal Extension.

Windows 

UEXT 

Provide the ability for Universal Extensions to detect and respond to Cancel commands issued from Universal Controller. 

This option provides the new UAG Server configuration option, EXTENSION_CANCEL_TIMEOUT.  

The ability to configure that value at install time and/or Universal Broker startup is also provided. 

Note

The HP-UX and z/OS agents do not provide the Universal Extension.

Note

The HP-UX and z/OS agents do not provide the Universal Extension.


B-13860 

Unix 
Windows 

UEXT 

Refactor the Universal Extension logging API so that it is no longer necessary to instantiate an ExtensionLogger object. Logging methods can now be accessed using the following import: 

from universal_extension import logger 

Logging methods can be invoked using calls such as either:

  • logger.info(‘msg’)
  • logger.error(‘msg’)

Note

The HP-UX and z/OS agents do not provide the Universal Extension.
