Description

B-16983

Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows

UAGSRV
UEXT

Add the ability to resolve the following Controller functions when embedded in text and array fields of a Universal Extension:

  • Credential functions
  • Script functions
  • SAP Connection functions
  • Database Connection functions
  • Task Instance/Sibling Task Instance Output Path
  • Variable Path functions

This is a companion item to the Universal Controller enhancement B-16984.

B-17011

Unix
Windows

UDM
UDMSRV

Introduces the following UDM variables that provide access to the following Utility Agent credential and hostname information:

  • $(ops_utility_cred_user)
  • $(ops_utility_cred_pwd)
  • $(ops_utility_agent_name)
B-17038Solaris Intel
Solaris SPARC
INSTALL

Drop support for Solaris 10.

Starting with Universal Agent 7.6.0.0, installs are only permitted on Solaris 11. The install will be allowed to continue on any Solaris 11 system, but only Solaris 11.4 is certified.

Critical Information

This is a breaking change for upgrades from Universal Agent versions prior to 7.6.0.0.

If you are running an OMS Server on a Solaris Intel system and attempt to upgrade to 7.6.0.0 or later, the OMS message file can no longer be read.

The reason is that Universal Agent versions prior to 7.6.0.0 were 32-bit on Solaris Intel. Starting with 7.6.0.0, Solaris Intel deliveries are 64-bit. If Universal Agent 7.6.0.0 or later attempts to read an OMS message file created by an earlier 32-bit Universal Agent, the OMS Server will crash.

For the best upgrade experience and to minimize any unexpected downtime, please refer to this section.

Upgrades on Solaris SPARC are not affected.

B-17883AllINSTALL

Add PGP signatures to Universal Agent distribution files.

For information on verifying these signatures, please refer to the following information.

B-17891Unix (except HP-UX and Solaris)
Windows

UAGSRV
UBROKER
UFTP

Add end-to-end OpenTelemetry tracing support to UFTP when run from a File Transfer or Remote File Monitor task. Tracing support is also available for stand-alone UFTP execution.

B-17935Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows
PYTHON

Update the Universal Agent's Python distribution to 3.11.6.

The 3pp modules listed below were updated for this distribution. The module is provided for all platforms, except where noted:

  • azure-storage-blob==12.19.1

  • cx_Oracle==8.3.0 (Windows only)
  • docker==7.0.0 
  • google-cloud-storage==2.15.0
  • hdbcli==2.19.21 (Windows only)
  • hdfs==2.7.3 (Linux and Windows only)
  • kubernetes==29.0.0 (Linux and Windows only)
  • paramiko==3.4.0 
  • pyodbc==5.1.0 (Linux Intel and Windows only)
  • requests==2.31.0
B-18578All

OMS
UAGSRV

Update the Agent to rely on a dynamically-generated key to decrypt sensitive information obtained from the Controller.


Note

This change deprecates the Universal Agent's AUTHVER configuration option.

The option, if configured, will still be recognized by UAG Server, but will no longer be honored.

B-18730Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows

UAGSRV
UEXT

Provides a change to the Universal Extension Event API to support arrays (Python list) as attribute values.

D-11139Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows
UAGSRV

The extensions directory, located in the DATA_DIRECTORY path option for UAG Server, will now be created automatically when a non-default value is set for this option.

Prior to this change, Universal Task instances would stay in an Undeliverable status until directory was created.

D-11383AllUAGSRV

Fixes a UAG Server crash that may occur when multiple Remote File Monitor instances finish at the same moment as a new instance is starting.

D-11526WindowsUIP-VSCODE

Fixes a problem where a debugging session will not start if the Debug button in the "Run and Debug" section of the activity bar is selected.

Prior to this change, the only way to start a debugging session was with F5.

Windows
USAPResolves a performance issue when downloading a large SAP spool file.
D-11862WindowsUIP-VSCODE

Fixes a problem where a user specifies a dynamic choice field in the configuration.yml file that does not exist, and there are no dependent fields specified in the template.json file.

In this situation, the debugger fails to launch, and the error message KeyError: 'raw_type' is displayed.

D-11974Unix
Windows
UAGSRV

Fixes an issue where Program and Variant Names do not appear in their respective drop down lists when adding an ABAP Program Job Step to an SAP Task.

The failure applies to Load Balancing (Type-B) connections only and results in a "Missing required Value for RFC Connection" error.

D-12323Unix (except HP-UX)PYTHONDelivers a fix within the updated Python distribution that ensures the built-in _ssl and _hashlib modules are imported correctly.
D-12338

Unix (except HP-UX)

UEXT

Fixes Universal Extension support for Python's async functionality that was provided in Python 3.9.

Full async functionality is supported in
