|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-11353 | All | UFTP UPPS | PS32022 N/A | Update the libcURL library used by Universal Agent components to 7.88.1 for Unix/Windows and 7.81.0 for zOS. The libcURL library used for the Universal Agent for HP-UX distribution was not updated. |
| D-11189 | All | OMSSRV | N/A PS32021 PS32020 PS32025 PS32023 PS32024 PS32031 PS32026 PS32027 PS32029 PS32030 PS32028 PS32022 | Update the OpenSSL library used by Universal Agent components to 1.1.1u. The OpenSSL library used for the Universal Agent for HP-UX distribution was not updated. |
| D-11889 | All | OMSSRV UAGSRV UBROKER UCMSRV UCTSRV UDMSRV UEMSRV | N/A PS32020 PS320 PS32024 PS32027 PS32030 N/A | Changes the message digest used to sign internally-created self-signed certificates from SHA1 to SHA256 to prevent UC-OMS connection failures on newer Linux distributions |
Agent 7.2.0.5 - October 31, 2023
Change ID | Platforms | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-11174 | All | UFTP | PS32013 PS32014 PS32015 PS32016 PS32017 PS32018 PS32019 | Prevent an error when the value of the -pwd option contains a single space (e.g., -pwd " "). |
| D-11458 | All | UAGSRV | PS32012 | Fixes a problem where UAG Server memory's consumption may gradually increase following repeated, forced reconnections to OMS Server. |
Agent 7.2.0.4 - July 31, 2023
Change ID | Platforms | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-11166 | All | UFTP | PS32010 | Fixes an issue that causes UFTP to fail when multiple files are transferred to a remote directory path that contains spaces. |
| D-11424 | zOS | UAGU83 | PS32011 | Fixes a problem where an ABEND within the UAGU83 SMF exit module could cause RMF to terminate with an S0C1. |
Agent 7.2.0.3 - April 28, 2023
Change ID | Platforms | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-10510 | z/OS | UDM UDMSRV | PS32008 PS32009 | 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 | z/OS | UCMD | PS32006 | Fix an issue that prevented a z/OS UCMD Manager from performing a success network fault tolerant (NFT) recovery when SystemSSL was used. |
| D-10910 | All | UBROKER | PS32007 | Fix a memory leak that, if left unchecked, could require frequent Universal Broker restarts. |
| D-10934 | All | UBROKER | PS32007 | Fix a memory leak that could occur within the Universal Broker Memory when responding to a UAG Server configuration refresh request |
| D-11003 | z/OS | UAGSRV UAGU83 | PS32003 PS32005 | Fix a situation in which a z/OS File Monitor task could be triggered more than once for the same dataset or file |
| D-11059 | z/OS | UAGSRV UAGRERUN | PS32003 PS32004 | Fix a situation in which the step that executes the UAGRERUN utility is inserted into a z/OS task's JCL at an unexpected/unsupported location |
| D-11118 | All | UAGSRV | PS32003 | Fix 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-11198 | z/OS | UAGSRV | PS32003 | Fix a situation in which a password might be exposed in the Universal Agent log. |
Agent 7.2.0.1 - August 5, 2022
Change ID | Platforms | Component | PTF | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D-10716 | All | UAGSRV | PS32001 | Prevent a deadlock that may occur when a CHANGE File Monitor instance detects new matching files. Note This item may be identified in other UA releases as D-10587 or D-10707. |
| D-10732 | All | UAGSRV | PS32001 | Prevent a CHANGE File Monitor that specifies a stable period from incorrectly generating multiple events. Note This item may be identified in other UA releases as D-10544 or D-10733. |
Agent 7.2.0.0 - April 1, 2022
Change ID | Platforms | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| B-13286 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the primary_secondary value, which will instruct a Universal Agent configured with a SYSPLEX_ROLE of primary to start as a secondary Agent if another primary Agent is already running. Note The AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option continues to support a default value of never, which will disable automatic failover and will require failovers to be managed manually via a Universal Broker MODIFY command. |
| B-13287 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the secondary_primary[n] value, where n is an optional numeric value that sets a priority to determine which secondary Agent (among several active secondary Agents) will take over as primary. Note The AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option continues to support a default value of never, which will disable automatic failover and will require failovers to be managed manually via a Universal Broker MODIFY command. |
| B-13288 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Added the (mutually-exclusive) ZOS_JOB_SYSAFF and ZOS_JOB_SYSTEM configuration options that can manage a z/OS task's execution via a SYSAFF or SYSTEM JOB card parameter, respectively. |
| B-13292 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Extend the AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option to support the always_primary value, which will force an Agent whose SYSPLEX_ROLE is primary to always start as a Primary Agent. Any other Agent running as a Primary Agent will become a Secondary Agent when this Agent starts. Note The AUTOMATIC_FAILOVER option continues to support a default value of never, which will disable automatic failover and will require failovers to be managed manually via a Universal Broker MODIFY command. |
| B-14036 | All | UFTP | Establish a connection to the (S)FTP Server before attempting the requested transfer operation. This will allow connection-specific failures to be isolated and reported. To support this change, the following message: UNV3707E cURL reports could not connect. was replaced with: UNV6955E Unable to establish an FTP server connection (curl_rc): curl_msg where curl_rc and curl_msg are the return code and error message, respectively, that identify the problem. In addition, UFTP now displays the entire connection conversation between it and the Server without requiring the -verbose option. |
| D-10417 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Fix an issue that prevents a z/OS Agent using IBM System SSL (that is, RACF-based keyrings) from connecting to an OMS Server. |
| D-10531 | z/OS | UDM UDMSRV | Fix an issue where an attempt to transfer PDS members from z/OS using UDM may result in an S0C4 ABEND. When this occurs, the following error is reported:
Note This problem was introduced by D-08997, delivered in UA 7.1.0.0. |
| D-10556 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Fix an issue that prevented a file monitor task from locating datasets when a wildcard is used as the first character in the dataset pattern. This restores behavior that existed prior to Universal Agent 7.0.0.0. |
| D-10676 | All | UFTP | Ensures that UFTP will not crash when used to transfer a comma-separated list of files from z/OS using the MGET command. |
| D-10687 | z/OS | UAGSRV | When running a File Transfer Task via a z/OS Agent, if the Local and/or Remote Filename values exceeded 72 characters, UAG Server failed to properly format the SYSIN DD statement in the JCL used to execute UFTP. The z/OS Agent now ensures that such values are properly terminated at column 72 and continued to the next line. |
