Introduction

Opswise Universal Agent 5.2.0 consists of a family of components that address distributed systems management and automation. The components are packaged together as product installation packages. Product installation packages are provided for a variety of operating systems and hardware.

Stonebranch provides product maintenance in the form of updated product installation packages that contained the latest maintenance levels of product components. These pages list the product installation package and component maintenance history for Opswise Universal Agent 5.2.0.

Product Packaging

Agent components are bundled together into product installation packages, referred to simply as packages in these pages. Each package is identified with a package version number and each component within a package is identified with a component version number.

Each package and component maintenance level is identified with a version number (see Versioning, below). The component maintenance level is incremented whenever a new component is made available that contains defect fixes or feature enhancements. A package maintenance level is incremented when a product component within the package changes or the package installation changes.

Package maintenance levels are not necessarily made available for all platforms. Package maintenance may be released for a subset of supported platforms. For example, Opswise Universal Agent 5.2.0 for z/OS and UNIX may be at maintenance level 5.2.0.1, but Opswise Universal Agent 5.2.0 for Windows may be at 5.2.0.0.

Stonebranch changes product version, release, or modification identifiers at its discretion when it deems an appropriate number of enhancements or capabilities have been introduced to warrant the change.

Versioning

Package version numbers are comprised of four numeric identifiers: version, release, modification level, and maintenance level.

For example, for Opswise Universal Agent 5.2.0.1:

• 5 = Version 5
• 2 = Release 2
• 0 = Modification Level 0
• 1 = Maintenance Level 1

Product component version numbers are similar to the package version numbers. Each product component within the package is identified with the same version, release, and modification level as the package, and with a maintenance level that is independent of the maintenance level of the package or other components in the package.

For example, within an Opswise Universal Agent 5.2.0.1 package, there could be a Universal Command 5.2.0.0 component:

• 5 = Version 5
• 2 = Release 2
• 0 = Modification Level 0
• 0 = Maintenance Level 0

Packaging Methods

Packaging methods vary among platforms based on the installation conventions and vendor recommendations for the platform. The purpose of this section is to describe the packaging and distribution methods used for the Workload Automation package on its supported platforms.
