Introduction
This page summarizes the changes introduced in each component maintenance release for Universal Agent 7.5.x.
For a list of all component changes included in the maintenance release for each platform, see:
All Components
Release 7.5.0.17 - May 13, 2025
| Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-12785 | All | All | Improve data security by making sure all references to sensitive data are cleared before the memory holding that data is freed. Note that no memory was leaked nor was any sensitive data exposed prior to this change. This change applies to the way in which the Universal Agent applications are built. Some compilers may "skip" a call to clear memory in situations where that that memory is immediately freed in the next statement. This is an undesirable optimization, and this change prevents the call to clear the memory from being skipped. |
Release 7.5.0.6 - May 14, 2024
| Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-02039 | All | All | Miscellaneous fixes to improve Universal Agent stability and reliability. |
Universal Agent Server
Release 7.5.0.20 - August 12, 2025
| Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-10535 | Unix | UAGSRV | Prevents an Agent File Monitor task failure when the specified file contains trailing whitespace that is not a space (e.g., a newline control character, '\n'). |
| D-13676 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Prevent an 0C4 abend that could occur in UAGSRV as it evaluates the memory allocated for some JCL SET parameters. |
Release 7.5.0.19 - July 8, 2025
| Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| D-09780 | Unix Windows z/OS | UBROKER | Prevents a Universal Broker crash following successful Manager Fault Tolerant (MFT) recovery of a UCMD Manager task. In this situation, recovery processing was successful. The crash occurred as the Broker cleaned up tracking records stored in its BerkeleyDB database files. |
| D-13549 | Windows | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem in which the Universal Agent for Windows process could crash at startup during Universal Extension task initialization. Specifically, the issue occurred within the Agent's Python discovery processing. |
| D-13578 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Ensure that the UAG Server's configured CODE_PAGE is honored during OMS message processing. Specifically, this fix addresses a problem with z/OS Task parameter translation when the z/OS system environment is configured to use a codepage other than IBM1047 (UAG Server's default codepage). The problem applies to the following situation:
Prior to this fix, the parameter's name and value would always be translated from UTF8 to IBM1047, even if the UAG Server's configured codepage were set to something other than IBM1047. With this fix, UAG Server will now honor its configured codepage and translate the parameter name and value accordingly. The default is still IBM1047. Note that a similar defect, D-13592, is provided for this release that fixes translation of parameters used for JCL variable substitution. These are parameters whose names start with *@. Possibility of Breaking Change Exercise care before doing the SMP/E ACCEPT of this PTF. If any work-arounds exist that rely on a task parameter's name or value always being translated as IBM1047, they will no longer work if the CODE_PAGE option is set in UAGCFG00 to something other than IBM1047. For example, the at symbol ('@') has a UTF8 encoding of 0x0040. Its IBM1047 encoding is 0x7C. Its IBM1141 encoding is 0xB5. Prior to this fix, it the z/OS system's configured codepage were IBM1141, the '@' symbol in a task parameter name or value had to be replaced with a section sign ('§'). This would force the UTF8-to-IBM1047 translation to produce an encoding of 0xB5. When viewing the SET statement that UAG Server adds to the task's JCL, the value would be shown as '@' as expected. With this change, you can now set the CODE_PAGE option in UAGCFG00 to IBM1141 and use the '@' symbol in the task parameter. The work-around described above is no longer needed. If you choose to leave such work-arounds in place, simply make sure the UAG Server's CODE_PAGE option in UAGCFG00 is undefined or set to IBM1047. If all of your task parameter names and values are inserted into the JCL's SET statements correctly today (that is, without any work-arounds), then you do not need to do anything after applying this fix. Everything will continue to work as it does today. |
| D-13592 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Ensure that the UAG Server's configured CODE_PAGE is honored during OMS message processing. Specifically, this fix addresses a problem with z/OS Task parameter translation when the z/OS system environment is configured to use a codepage other than IBM1047 (UAG Server's default codepage). The problem applies to the following situation:
If your z/OS system's codepage is configured with one of the above codepages, this fix will provide the ability to retain the '@' symbol in the task parameter definition and your z/OS task's JCL. Prior to this fix, the parameter would always be translated from UTF8 to IBM1047, even if the UAG Server's configured codepage were set to something other than IBM1047. With this fix, UAG Server will now honor its configured codepage and translate the '@' symbol correctly. The default is still IBM1047. Note that a similar defect, D-13578, is provided for this release that fixes translation of parameters used for JCL SET statements. Possibility of Breaking Change Exercise care before doing the SMP/E ACCEPT of this PTF. If any work-arounds exist in your JCL to replace the '@' variable with a symbol that will match the IBM1047 encoding for '@' AND the CODE_PAGE option is set in your UAGCFG00 to something other than IBM1047, the work-around will no longer work. For example, the at symbol ('@') has a UTF8 encoding of 0x0040. Its IBM1047 encoding is 0x7C. Its IBM1141 encoding is 0xB5. Prior to this fix, it the z/OS system's configured codepage were IBM1141, the '@' symbol could not be used in your JCL. The '@' had to be replaced with a section sign ('§') This would force the UTF8-to-IBM1047 translation to produce an encoding of 0xB5, which allowed UAG Server to find the variables in the JCL and replace them with the values of the task's parameters. With this change, you can now set the CODE_PAGE option in UAGCFG00 to IBM1141 and use the '@' symbol in your JCL (assuming your z/OS system's codepage is IBM1141). The work-around described above is no longer needed. This is true for any of the codepages listed above, provided the configured CODE_PAGE in UAGCFG00 matches the codepage set for your z/OS environment. If you choose to leave such work-arounds in place, simply make sure the UAG Server's CODE_PAGE option in UAGCFG00 is undefined or set to IBM1047. If all of the variables in your z/OS task's JCL start with '@' and are translated correctly today (that is, without any work-arounds), then you do not need to do anything after applying this fix. Everything will continue to work as it does today. |

| D-11137 | Windows | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem with file monitor tasks that specify a file path with a double backslash as a separator (e.g. C:\\work\\pattern*.txt ). The file monitor task issues the error "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." and then fails with a Start Failure. |
| D-11156 | Unix | UAGSRV | Ensure that all file descriptors are properly closed when a task fails because credentials were specified for a user account that does not exist. |

|
| 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. |
