Overview

Applying maintenance to Universal Agent refers to the increase from its currently installed Maintenance level (see Versioning) to a later Maintenance level; for example, applying maintenance to a 7.8.0.0 Agent to increase its maintenance level to 7.8.0.1.

(Upgrading an Agent refers to the increase from its currently installed Version, Release, or Modification level to a later Version, Release, or Modification level; for example, upgrading a 6.2.0.1 Agent to a 7.8.0.0 Agent.)

Applying Maintenance to Linux/Unix and Windows Agents

The procedure for applying maintenance to Linux/Unix and Windows Agents is the same as the procedure for upgrading Linux/Unix and Windows Agents, which includes downloading and installing a platform-specific Agent from the Stonebranch Customer Portal.

Applying Maintenance to z/OS Agents

To apply maintenance to Universal Agent for z/OS:

Step 1	From the Stonebranch Customer Portal, download the z/OS - PTFs package file (for instructions, see Product Distribution File Download).
Step 2	Stop all Agent processes on the Agents to which you are applying maintenance (for instructions on how to stop the Agent on a specific platform, see Starting and Stopping Agent Components).
Step 3	Apply the maintenance to the Agent using the instructions in the README file that is included with z/OS PTFs.
Step 4	Verify that the Agent is communicating with Universal Controller (see Verifying Universal Agent Installation).
