D-11676 | Unix | UAGSRV | Fixes an intermittent issue where UAGSRV may terminate abnormally when stopped with the Universal Control utility (UCTL). The failure is not common, and was observed only when the UAG Server JTSK_NUM configuration option was set to its maximum value of 64. |
D-12222 | z/OS | UAGRERUN | Resolves unexpected behavior for a z/OS task, under the following conditions:
Prior to this fix, the EXEC COND= parameter is not honored when the ABEND occurs, and the step executes. This fix ensures the Step Condition and the EXEC COND= configuration is honored. |
D-12223 | Windows | UAGSRV | Adds the Windows network error ERROR_UNEXP_NET_ERR (59) as a retry-able error condition for a Windows File Monitor task, when file monitor fault tolerance is enabled. |

Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-11137 | Windows | UAGSRV | Restore the ability for Windows file monitor tasks to correctly interpret file paths that contain a double backslash (i.e., \\). |
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. |
D-11166 | Unix | UFTP | Fixes an issue that causes UFTP to fail when multiple files are transferred to a remote directory path that contains spaces. |
D-11178 | Unix | UAGSRV | Fixes an issue that could result in excessive CPU consumption when UAG Server launches and/or executes several different task types concurrently. |

D-10510 | z/OS | UDM | Eliminate all "benign" ICH408I message occurrences from the RACF log. These messages would sometimes appear during UDM's processing, when checking for access to resources it required. UDM would silently ignore the situation that caused these messages, using an alternate execution path. This change will ensure that UDM takes no action that could result in these messages. |
D-10727 |
