Prevent a JCL error by ensuring that line numbers are not pulled into a JCL statement when

  • The JCL used for a z/OS task contains line numbers, and
  • A z/OS task variable is replaced with a value that is shorter than the variable name

The fix also prevents truncation of JCL statements that contain in-line data with hexadecimal values.

Resolves unexpected behavior for a z/OS task, under the following conditions:

  • The z/OS task contains a Step Condition that is defined treat an ABEND as an expected result, by specifying an action of Continue/Success
  • A subsequent step in the z/OS task's JCL contains an EXEC COND= parameter that references the ABENDed step, that would normally prevent execution of the step

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.

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:

  • 00000 - allocate the dataset with no expiration date

  • 98000 - used by some tape management systems control when datasets are uncataloged and tape volumes become available for re-use

  • 99000 - used by some tape management systems control when datasets are uncataloged and tape volumes become available for re-use

  • 99365 - allocate the dataset so that it never expires

  • 99366 - allocate the dataset so that it never expires

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.

Description

B-02925z/OSUAGSRVAdd the ability to save the JCL of jobs submitted via a z/OS task. The JCL is saved to a user-allocated PDS/E (recommended) or PDS as specified by a new UAG Server configuration option, JCL_SAVE_LIBRARY.
B-06123z/OSUBROKERIncrease the region size specified in the sample UBROKER started task JCL (provided by the z/OS installation) from 50M to 500M.
B-10131z/OSUAGSRVAdds a SYSTEM or SYSAFF parameter to the job card for z/OS tasks that contain a value for the SYSTEM or SYSAFF Parameter field provided by Universal Controller item B-10132.
B-10268z/OSUAGSRVAdd the ability to set a timeout for obtaining z/OS task output from JES. The timeout value is specified with a new UAG Server configuration option, JES_SYSOUT_TIMEOUT. 
B-10380z/OSUAGSRVAdd the ability to specify space parameter for temporary output datasets created by a z/OS task instance. The parameters are set via a new UAG Server configuration option, JES_SYSOUT_SPACE.
B-11155AllUFTPAdd ability to prevent command line exposure of sensitive data by allowing UFTP to accept its command input via stdin.
B-13254AllUAGSRVAllows UAG Server to confirm its connection to OMS via a new a SERVICE_TIMEOUT configuration option. The value specified for this option can be used to allow UAG Server to quickly detect an idle connection to OMS without waiting for the default TCPIP timeout.
B-13901All (except Solaris Intel)USAPProvides a new configuration option, ALLOW_VARIANT_TRUNCTION, to control how USAP responds to variant names that exceed the variant's maximum defined length. The new option can be configured to have USAP fail (the default) or silently truncate the variant name.

UAGCMD

Add the ability to connect to OMS Server via a proxy server.

A new UAG Server configuration option, PROXY_URL, is provided to configure this connection.

The UAG Server command line client, UAGCMD, provides a new network.proxy_url parameter to configure this connection.

B-14668AllUBROKER

If the Universal Broker enters its database recovery processing at startup (due to an improperly closed bcomponent.db database), a new RECREATE_DATABASES option is provided to specify whether the Broker should automatically delete and recreate the following databases:

  • bcomponent.db
  • scomponent.db
  • uems.db
  • ues.db
B-14703AllUFTPUpdate the LIST command to accept a comma-separated list of files.
