Prevent a situation that may result in a "CSProcessCreate: The system cannot find the file specified" error when several Windows tasks that execute scripts with user credentials are launched at once.

Fix a problem that could cause Universal Data Mover to prematurely stop reading a UTF16-encoded file.
 

Note

The problem was observed when trying to transfer a UTF-16BE file to a zOS dataset encoded with the IBM500 codepage. The cause of the problem was related to the size of the input file, and not to the UTF16 translation itself.

Prevent a conflict with a customer SMF exit that references the same JMR control block locations as UAGSRV SMF exits.

UAGUJI

Make sure SKIPST parameters specified for z/OS tasks correctly skip steps that execute PROCs.

Install

Fix a problem that could cause a silent install to fail when RUNBROKERASUSER=0 is specified.
