Agent 7.1.0.5 - July 31, 2023
Change ID | Platforms | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-11166 | All | UFTP | PS31012 | Fixes an issue that causes UFTP to fail when multiple files are transferred to a remote directory path that contains spaces. |
| D-11424 | z/OS | UAGU83 | PS31013 | Fixes a problem where an ABEND within the UAGU83 SMF exit module could cause RMF to terminate with an S0C1. |
Agent 7.1.0.4 - April 28, 2023
Change ID | Platforms | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-10510 | z/OS | UDM UDMSRV | PS31010 PS31011 | 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. |
| D-10727 | z/OS | UCMD | PS31008 | Fix an issue that prevented a z/OS UCMD Manager from performing a success network fault tolerant (NFT) recovery when SystemSSL was used. |
| D-10910 | All | UBROKER | PS31009 | Fix a memory leak that, if left unchecked, could require frequent Universal Broker restarts. |
| D-10934 | All | UBROKER | PS31009 | Fix a memory leak that could occur within the Universal Broker Memory when responding to a UAG Server configuration refresh request |
| D-11003 | z/OS | UAGSRV UAGU83 | PS31005 PS31007 | Fix a situation in which a z/OS File Monitor task could be triggered more than once for the same dataset or file |
| D-11059 | z/OS | UAGSRV UAGRERUN | PS31005 PS31006 | Fix a situation in which the step that executes the UAGRERUN utility is inserted into a z/OS task's JCL at an unexpected/unsupported location |
| D-11118 | All | UAGSRV | PS31005 | Fix a situation in which tasks could end with a Start Failure or say in a Queued status if the Agent's hostname is longer than 62 characters. |
Agent 7.1.0.3 - November 18, 2022
Change ID | Platforms | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-10726 | z/OS | UCMD | PS31004 | Fix a problem in which passwords that contain spaces are not parsed correctly. |
Agent 7.1.0.1 - July 12, 2022
Change ID | Platforms | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-10707 | All | UAGSRV | PS31003 | Prevent a deadlock that may occur when a CHANGE File Monitor instance detects new matching files. Note This item may be identified in other UA releases as D-10587 or D-10716. |
| D-10718 | All | UDM | PS31001 PS31002 | Prevent an authentication error for a File Transfer task when the following conditions exist:
For example: Starting with UA 7.0.0.0, this will cause the resolved $(ops_primary_cred_pwd) value in the Note This item was originally delivered in UA 7.2.0.0 as D-10523. |
| D-10733 | All | UAGSRV | PS31003 | Prevent a CHANGE File Monitor that specifies a stable period from incorrectly generating multiple events. Note This item may be identified in other UA releases as D-10544 or D-10732. |
Agent 7.1.0.0 - October 4, 2021
Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
B-10691 | All | UAGSRV | 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 | USAP | Update USAP to support the RSPARAMSL_255 data type for variants. The following USAP operations may now take advantage of this change:
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-13282 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Add automatic failover support for Agents configured to execute in a sysplex environment. The following items were delivered for UA 7.1.0.0 to support this feature:
Note To ensure proper accounting for z/OS licenses, we recommend that all UAG Servers configured to run in a sysplex environment use the same value for the UAG Server’s NETNAME configuration option. |
B-13885 | z/OS | UBROKER | Suppress ICH408I messages in the RACF log when running the Broker with a user without BPX.SUPERUSER access. This message is an expected response to a check of authority level, but repeated checks result in several instances of the ICH408I message appear in the log. |
D-08997 | z/OS | UDM | Prevent a S0C4 when executing transfers of UTF16-encoded datasets. |
D-09852 | Unix | UDM | Ensure that the message that shows the result of the CD command displays correctly. This issue was most visible on zOS, but could occur on any Linux/Unix system whose default locale is not UTF8. |
D-10189 | z/OS | PKG | Fix a problem that prevented the installation of hlq.SUNVSAMP(UBRDBSPZ). |
D-10210 | All | UDM | Scrubs any password specified with the OPEN statement from trace file output. |
D-10256 | All | UDM | Fixes a crash that could occur if the UDM Manager message level was set to “trace” from the command line. |
D-10346 | z/OS | UAGSRV
| Fixes a problem that prevented a zOS CHANGE File Monitor task from storing a renamed dataset’s new name in Universal Control variables. |
D-10426 | z/OS | UBROKER | Fixes a problem that prevented UBROKER startup while loading the UNVACTRT SMF exit. |
D-10474 | z/OS | UCMD
| Prevent a situation in which command line parameters provided via a SYSIN statement were ignored if they followed a password on the same line. For example, given the following:
The -level option would be ignored unless moved to a separate line: |
