Support has been added to export SAP Factory and Holiday Calendars.
New FTP Client
Universal Agent 6.4.0.0 introduces a new capability for Universal Agent customers. UFTP (Universal FTP Client) is now available and supports the following file transfer protocols, FTP, FTPs, SFTP, and TFTP. UFTP provides a consistent file transfer client for all supported 6.4.0.0 Universal Agent platforms.
z/OS Enhancements
Installation packaging changes, we are now delivering the z/OS installation package for the Universal Agent as an DFDSS backup. This is intended to significantly reduce the number of files that need to be transferred during the installation process. We are also providing a zip version of the installation package.
Mixed case passwords are now supported for z/OS.
Security Enhancements
System SSL security for z/OS now supports TLS1.2.
The UENCRYPT utility now supports the ability to allow customers to create their own encryption key and configure the UENCRYPT utility to use this encryption key. User-generated encryption keys are stored in the new Universal Broker key store. This further enhances the security provided for objects encrypted with the UENCRYPT utility.
Platform Support Changes
As of Universal Agent 6.4.0.0, we no longer are supporting IBM z/OS 1.12 and 1.13. Universal Agent for z/OS now requires IBM z/OS 2.1.x or later.
