Release 7.4.1.12 - November 12, 2024

Change IDPlatformsComponentDescription
D-12826AllUAGSRVFixes 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.
D-12938Unix
Windows		UAGSRV

Fixes a problem where an Agent File Monitor task fails to detect files larger than 20 GB when a minimum file size is specified.

Note

This delivery a provides a fix specific to Universal Agent 7.4.1 for Solaris Intel, in which files larger than 1 GB are not always detected.

Release 7.4.1.11 - October 8, 2024

Change IDPlatformsComponentDescription
D-12303WindowsUAGSRV

Fixes a problem that causes Agent File Monitors running on Windows to fail when user credentials contain Unicode characters.

D-12576z/OSUAGSRVRelax validation for UAG Server's AGENT_IP configuration option on z/OS to accept VIPA addresses.
D-12652z/OSUAGSRVDo not require a value for the CA_CERTIFICATES configuration option when SystemSSL is used and the Agent requests OMS Server authentication.

Release 7.4.1.8 - June 11, 2024

Change IDPlatformsComponentDescription
D-11929z/OSUAGSRV

Provide a new UAG Server configuration option, rerun_before_include, which is defined in UAGCFG00. This option controls whether a JCL INCLUDE statement should trigger the insertion of the UAGRERUN step.

Valid values and their meaning are as follows:

  • no -- a JCL INCLUDE statement will not trigger insertion of a UAGRERUN step. This is the default, which matches the behavior in previous versions.
  • yes – a UAGRERUN step is inserted ahead of a JCL INCLUDE statement.

Release 7.4.1.7 - May 14, 2024

Change IDPlatformsComponentDescription
D-11270z/OSUAGSRVProvide message UAG5656E Dataset <dsname> specified for <jcl_save_library> cannot be found to make UAG Server start failures that occur due to missing JCL_SAVE_LIBRARY datasets more clear.

Platforms

Component

Description

D-10536z/OSUAGSRV

When the Universal Agent AGENT_IP configuration option specifies an IP address instead of a host name, eliminate the UNV0182E 'Cannot resolve' error, and accept the IP address as entered.

D-11431z/OSUAGSRV

Always insert the UAGRERUN step ahead of any IF statements in the JCL. This will ensure that UAGRERUN is executed ahead of any initial EXEC or PROC statement that may be enclosed within an IF statement.

D-12221z/OSUAGSRV

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.

Release 7.4.1.5 - March 12, 2024

Component

Description

D-11900

Unix

UAGSRV

Ensure that failed attempts to launch child processes spawned by UAG Server (via the ./ubroker/sbin/cskern utility) are handled gracefully.

D-12304z/OS

Change ID

Platforms

Component

Description

D-11676

Unix
Windows

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-12222z/OS

UAGRERUN
UAGU84
UAGUSI

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.

D-12223WindowsUAGSRVAdds 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.

Update OpenSSL implementation to support TLS 1.3 sessions.

This feature provides the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol - controls TLS session negotiation by limiting the protocol that will be used
  • ctl_/data_ssl_cipher_suites (availability of these options varies by component) - allows the following TLS 1.3 cipher suites to be specified separately from – and mutually exclusive with – earlier TLS 1.x ciphers
    • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
    • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
    • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

The ability to enable TLS 1.3 across all Universal Agent components is available at install time via the --use_tls1_3 command line option (the Windows system mode install provides the equivalent USE_TLS1_3 command line property). When yes, this option sets the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol to "tls1_3" in omss.conf, uags.conf, uftp.conf, ubroker.conf, ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, uctl.conf, udm.conf, udms.conf, uem.conf, and upps.conf.

  • encrypt to "yes" in ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, and udm.conf

The interactive Windows installs also provides a new dialog with an option that, when checked, enables this configuration. This dialog is available for new installs and for upgrades from releases prior to 7.4.0.0.

B-15846All

OMSSRV
UAGSRV

Increase the maximum message size that can be transferred between UAG Server and OMS Server from 6 MB to 1 GB. 

The maximum message size allowed can be configured via the new OMS Server configuration option, MAX_MSG_SIZE. Similarly, a new MSG_CHUNK_OPTION option is provided to specify the maximum size for any single message transmitted. Any payload that exceeds this size will be split into multiple messages until the entire payload is transferred.

B-15945Unix
Windows		UAGSRVAdd the ability to use credential functions (i.e., ${_credential*(credential_name)}) to assign values to environment variables specified in a Linux/Unix or Windows task definition.
B-16116z/OSUAGSRV

Using the new RERUN_PROC_NAME option, allows customized JCL that executes the UAGRERUN utility to be inserted into a job executed from a z/OS task.

This customized JCL would replace the default OPSSTP00 step that UAG Server inserts by default.

B-16745Unix (except HP-UX)
Windows		UAGSRV

Updates the handling for the EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST, which allows users to configure an ordered list of Python interpreters to use for Universal Extension task execution.

Previously, the Python provided by the Universal Agent were installed, it would always be evaluated first. However, there were times where another Python that also satisfied the extension's requirement was preferred. As long as the Agent's Python was installed, the other Python would not be chosen.

With this change, if the Agent's Python is included in the EXTENSION_PYTHON_LIST value, the default ordering of the list is disabled and the Agent's Python is evaluation in the order in which it appears in the list.

B-16815AllUAGSRV
UBROKER
PKG

Add the ability to set the UAG Server MESSAGE_LEVEL and LOGLVL values at:

  • Installation, using the --ac_message_level and --ac_loglvl command line options for Unix Installs and Windows user mode installs (the Windows system mode install uses AC_MESSAGE_LEVEL and AC_LOGLVL installation properties)
    • In addition to command line properties, the Windows interactive installs provide a new dialog to set these options
  • Universal Broker startup. using the new uag_message_level and uag_loglvl command line options or the UAGLEVEL and UAGLOGLVL environment variables
B-16857Unix

UEXT

Correct the spelling of a credential's passphrase when referenced by a Universal Extension task. The previous spelling pasphrase is now corrected to passphrase.

For backward compatibility, pasphrase is still accepted, but new extensions should use the correct spelling as this backward compatibility could be lost in future releases.

D-11118AllUAGSRVFix a situation in which tasks could end with a Start Failure or say in a Queued status if the Agent's hostname is longer than 62 characters.
D-11163AllUAGSRVPrevent the Agent from falling offline if its task output (or any message sent transferred via OMS) is larger than 6 MB.

Update OpenSSL implementation to support TLS 1.3 sessions.

This feature provides the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol - controls TLS session negotiation by limiting the protocol that will be used
  • ctl_/data_ssl_cipher_suites (availability of these options varies by component) - allows the following TLS 1.3 cipher suites to be specified separately from – and mutually exclusive with – earlier TLS 1.x ciphers
    • TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384
    • TLS_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256
    • TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256

The ability to enable TLS 1.3 across all Universal Agent components is available at install time via the --use_tls1_3 command line option (the Windows system mode install provides the equivalent USE_TLS1_3 command line property). When yes, this option sets the following configuration options:

  • max_ssl_protocol to "tls1_3" in omss.conf, uags.conf, uftp.conf, ubroker.conf, ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, uctl.conf, udm.conf, udms.conf, uem.conf, and upps.conf.

  • encrypt to "yes" in ucmd.conf, ucmds.conf, and udm.conf

The interactive Windows installs also provides a new dialog with an option that, when checked, enables this configuration. This dialog is available for new installs and for upgrades from releases prior to 7.4.0.0.

Description

D-11345WindowsINSTALLHonor the USE_TLS1_3 command line parameter for upgrades from UA 7.4.0.x and later. This was done for parity with Unix installs.

NOTE: Use of this option will apply configuration updates to all Universal Agent components that use SSL/TLS. Care must be taken when using this option for upgrades from UA 7.4.0.x and later, as TLS 1.3 may already be used for some Agent components and turned off in others. Using this option will cause all component configurations to enable TLS 1.3 support.

NOTE: The interactive system mode install for Windows will continue to display the dialog that uses a checkbox to enable Agent-wide TLS 1.3 support only when upgrading from releases prior to UA 7.4.0.0.
