Install changes refer to changes to the programs, scripts, or supporting files used to install the package. There are no changes to the actual product components.
Release 7.5.0.16 - April 8, 2025
| Change Id | Platform | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-01220 | All | UBROKER | PS36050 | Ensure that the function responsible for removing records from the Universal Event Subsystem (UES) database processes always processes 1000 records with each iteration. Previously, the function always deleted the first 1000 records, causing the removal of subsequent records to be delayed. |
| D-13141 | z/OS | UDM UDMSRV | PS36051 PS36052 | Provides a new z/OS-specific UDM script attribute "lbi" to enable or disable the Large Block Interface (LBI) for transfers to prevent the corruption of datasets with RECFM=U. Previously, LBI support was enabled for all transfers, but this caused records shorter than the dataset's block size to be padded with 0x0 characters, which corrupted the output dataset. This change disables LBI by default, and makes it possible to re-enable it with lbi=yes. |

| D-13043 | z/OS | UAGSRV | PS36045 | Ensure that a z/OS Agent Change File Monitor task correctly detects file (or dataset) creation on a Secondary agent when "Trigger on Create" is set in the file monitor task. |
| D-13209 | z/OS | UDM | PS36047 PS36048 | Fixes a problem that prevented UDM from correctly obtaining allocation attributes for an input GDG dataset specified using a relative name (i.e., with the generation number in parentheses). That information is now available as the default allocation attributes for the target dataset. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-11405 | z/OS | USAP | PS36037 | Fixes the situation in which a job name longer than 14 characters may result in an error message stating that the variant "exceeds maximum allowed size of 14 bytes". |
| D-12841 | z/OS | UDM UDMSRV | PS36035 PS36036 | Allow multiple sessions to be created from a single UDM script when SystemSSL is used. |
| D-12826 | All | UAGSRV | PS36034 | Fixes a situation in which UAG Server may not receive OMS messages, causing submitted tasks to stay in a Queued state, although the Universal Agent is still successfully sending heartbeat messages to the Controller |

Agent 7.5.0.0 - October 13, 2023
Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| B-11499 | All | OMSSRV | Provides changes that:
|
| B-17449 | All | UBROKER | 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 intent of the updated behavior is to improve Agent resiliency and recoverability while retaining some ability to manage these database files. |
| B-17520 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Add the ability to edit JCL in a zOS task's JCL Location or JCL Override Location directly from the Controller. |
| B-17521 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Add Agent support to zOS tasks for Controller Task Simulations. Any symbols that are defined in the JCL will be resolved when the simulation is run. |
| B-17523 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Provide the ability to dynamically add or override the USER keyword on a JOB Statement using the new UAG Server configuration option ZOS_JOB_USER. |
| B-17755 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Add Agent support for the new Trigger on Create option for Change file monitors. This allows a zOS agent to look for dataset creations or changes from the same file monitor task instance. |
| D-11174 | All | UCMD UCTL UEM UFTP | Prevent an error when the value of the -pwd option contains a single space (e.g., -pwd " "). |
| D-11189 | All | OMSSRV UAGSRV UBROKER UCMD UCMSRV UCTL UCTSRV UDM UDMSRV UFTP | Update the OpenSSL library used by Universal Agent components to 1.1.1u. NOTE: The OpenSSL library used for the Universal Agent for HP-UX distribution was not updated. |
| D-11226 | z/OS | UFTP | Fixes an error that causes transfers across z/OS systems to fail when using the SFTP protocol. |
| D-11229 | All | UCMD | Fixes a "checksum mismatch" error when a Universal Encrypted file is decrypted and one of the comment lines inserted into the file exceeds 80 characters. |
| D-11353 | All | UFTP UPPS | Update the libcURL library used by Universal Agent components to 7.88.1 for Unix/Windows and 7.81.0 for zOS. NOTE: The libcURL library used for the Universal Agent for HP-UX distribution was not updated. |
| D-11362 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem that may cause an extra USER= parameter to get added to the JCL's job card created for a File Transfer task. |
| D-11392 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Prevent an error when a z/OS task is rerun under the following conditions:
|
| D-11411 | z/OS | UCMD UCTL UEM UFTP USAP | Fixes a problem introduced in UA 7.3.0.0 that prevents Universal Agent components from reading a plain-text command file specified with the -f / -file option in a job's SYSIN. |
| D-11413 | z/OS | UDM UDMSRV | Fixes a situation in which a UDM file transfer will fail if an attempt is made to allocate a zOS dataset with an EXPDT equal to one of the following special values:
When none of the above 5-digit values are used, UDM will still expect a 7-digit expiration date as it did prior to this change. |
| D-11424 | z/OS | UAGU83 | Fixes a problem where an ABEND within the UAGU83 SMF exit module could cause RMF to terminate with an S0C1. |
| D-11439 | z/OS | UBROKER | Fixes a problem that may cause the Universal Broker's COMPONENT_START to fail on z/OS when System SSL is used |
| D-11521 | z/OS | INSTALL | Fixes an installation error in which the sample UAGRRPRC mentioned in user documentation (to support configurable UAGRERUN handling) is missing from SUNVSAMP following a 7.4.0.0 or 7.4.1.0 installation. |
