Provides changes that:

  • Adds operating system name and version to the Universal Query Report heading, and
  • Adds operating system name and version to header information contained Universal Agent component trace files.
B-16795

Unix
Windows

UAGSRVImprove the management and display of an Agent task's output that contains diacritic characters and other language-specific features when that output is viewed from the Controller.
B-16797Unix
Windows		UAGSRVAdd the ability to control exactly where a script is written by defining the following environment variables in a task:
  • UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY - specifies a directory that is visible to the native user environment in which the task executes.
  • UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY_RELATIVE_TO - used with UAG_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY to specify a location in an isolated execution environment (e.g., chroot). This is a location that the user in whose context the task executes would not necessarily see in their native shell environment, but is visible to the task's environment.

Neither of these variables need to be defined for a task that does not execute in an isolated, secure environment.

B-16813Unix
Windows		UAGSRVImprove the Universal Agent Server's warm start processing so that a re-starting Agent will display an "Active" status in the Universal Controller with minimal delay.

B-17048

Unix
Windows

OMSSRVAdd the ability for Universal Control to refresh an OMS Server's MAX_MSG_SIZE and MSG_CHUNK_SIZE configuration options without requiring a server restart.
B-17449AllUBROKER

Revisit changes previously delivered by B-14668 in Universal Agent 7.3.0.0. That delivery provided the ability to automatically recover a Universal Broker database that failed validation at startup. However, to provide backward compatibility, that feature was not enabled by default and had to be manually configured across the enterprise with the Universal Broker RECREATE_DATABASES configuration option.

The UA 7.5.0.0 release provides the following changes to the automatic Broker database recovery feature:

  • The RECREATE_DATABASES configuration option is deprecated.
  • Automatic recovery now occurs by default for those databases that fail a validation which may occur at Broker startup. This validation is triggered whenever the databases weren't properly closed during shutdown of the previous Broker instance. Affected databases include:
    • bcomponent.db
    • scomponent.db
    • ues.db
    • uems.db
  • By default, the Broker creates a copy of any database that fails validation. The Broker then removes the corrupted database and recreates it so that Broker startup may proceed.
  • The number of database copies is controlled by a new DB_FILE_GENERATIONS configuration option. The default value of that option is 3. Database archival can be turned off by setting the value of the option to 0 (zero).

The intent of the updated behavior is to improve Agent resiliency and recoverability while retaining some ability to manage these database files.
