D-12850 | z/OS | UAGSRV | Upgrade the OpenSSL library that Universal Agent uses to OpenSSL 3.0.18 to resolve outstanding CVEs. |
D-13552 | IBM i | UAGSRV | Ensures that an Agent's configured BUSINESS_SERVICES are part of any HELLO message the Agent sends to the Controller. This change was specifically intended to fix an issue where a transient Linux Agent would lose business service information after temporarily going offline. A persistent Agent on any platform would also benefit from this change if, for example, it were inadvertently deleted from the Controller. |
Agent 7.8.3.1 - January 13, 2026
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-12850 | IBM i | OMSSRV | Upgrade the OpenSSL library that Universal Agent uses to OpenSSL 3.0.18 to resolve outstanding CVEs. |
Agent 7.8.3.0 - December 9, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
B-18732 | Unix (except Solaris) | OMSSRV | Explicitly set and expose the OpenTelemetry schema URL used for traces and metrics exposed by the Universal Agent and Universal Extension tasks. Providing the schema URL with each trace message or metric provides information about the format of the data being exported and details the semantic conventions used by the OpenTelemetry library 3pp vendor library. |
B-22163 | Unix (except Solaris) | OMSSRV | Add support to export traces and metrics in protobuf binary format. Provides the new OTEL_HTTP_TRACE_PROTOCOL and OTEL_HTTP_METRICS_PROTOCOL configuration options to switch between JSON and binary (the default) encoding. info This item was first delivered in the UA 7.9.0.0 release. For the December 2025 maintenance releases, the default encoding for all supported Agent versions (incl., 7.6.1, 7.7.2, and 7.8.3) was changed from JSON to protobuf binary. info Universal Extension tasks using OpenTelemetry features now require Python 3.8 or higher. |
D-14036 | All | UAGSRV | Ensure that an attempt to establish an improper SSL/TLS session over the affected Server application's component interface is handled gracefully. |
D-14051 | All | UAGSRV | Fixes an issue where the UAG Server's configured SERVICE_TIMEOUT value is ignored when receiving messages from OMS. This fix will decrease the time it takes for UAG Server to detect a dropped connection with OMS, which will in turn decrease connection recovery times. |

Agent 7.8.2.1 - October 14, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-11976 | Unix | UDM | Update the International Components for Unicode (ICU) 3pp vendor library to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-12235 | Unix | UFTP | Update the libcURL 3pp vendor library (used for UFTP file transfers and UPPS Web API calls) to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-12923 | Unix | PYTHON | Update the Universal Agent Python distribution to 3.11.13 to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-13422 | Unix | OMSSRV | Prevent unauthorized access to OMS Server by denying connection attempts from a remote OMS Admin (OMSADMIN) utility. This will restrict OMSADMIN to execution on the OMS Server's system. |
D-13518 | All | UAGSRV | Fixes a regression introduced in Universal Agent 7.8.2.0 that could affect the way string arrays are exchanged between Agent components and with OMS. The affected code is executed on all platforms, but the problem was exposed by a situation specific to z/OS. In that situation, we observed instances where a message sent from a secondary z/OS Agent to a primary z/OS Agent in a sysplex configuration could lose some formatting. The primary content of the message was intact, but the loss of formatting caused an exception to be reported in the Universal Controller log when it received that message from OMS. The most visible result that the task instance had no Restartable Job Steps even though the task itself finished successfully. |
D-13581 | All | UAGSRV | Fixes an issue the prevented UAG Server from retrying all items in the configured OMS_SERVERS list following a lost connection. |
D-13664 | Unix | UAGSRV | Prevents a possible UAG Server crash when an Agent File Monitor task is launched with a variable with no value is specified for the file to be monitored. |
D-13908 | Unix | OMSSRV | Fixes an issue introduced by changes delivered in UA 7.8.0.0 with B-20246 that could cause session negotiation to fail when 1) one of the affected Server components receives an unusually large number of session negotiation requests, and/or 2) multiple clients of one of the affected Server components tries to connect and negotiate a session over a very slow network. |
Agent 7.8.2.0 - August 12, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-10535 | Unix | UAGSRV | Prevents an Agent File Monitor task failure when the specified file contains trailing whitespace that is not a space (e.g., a newline control character, '\n'). |
D-12560 | Unix | UFTP | Update the libSSH2 3pp vendor library used by UFTP to remediate Critical- and High-severity CVEs. |
D-13077 | Unix | UFTP | Fixes an issue for transfers to or from an IBM i FTP Server, where UFTP attempts to issue LIB file system commands for a location outside the Library file system. |
D-13550 | Unix (except HP-UX, Solaris) | UEXT | Update the setuptools and certifi Python modules provided for Universal Extension development and installed to |
D-13707 | Unix (except HP-UX) | PYTHON | Decrease the size of the Universal Agent's Python distribution in order to decrease the overall size of the Universal Agent distribution file. |
Agent 7.8.1.1 - July 8, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-09780 | Unix | UBROKER | Prevents a Universal Broker crash following successful Manager Fault Tolerant (MFT) recovery of a UCMD Manager task. In this situation, recovery processing was successful. The crash occurred as the Broker cleaned up tracking records stored in its BerkeleyDB database files. |
D-13589 | Unix (Solaris only) | INSTALL | Fixes a problem with Universal Agent upgrades on Solaris that could cause Universal Extension tasks to fail. The failures only occur if the Universal Extension API changed between your installed version and the upgraded version. The fix provided in this maintenance will ensure that existing Universal Extension tasks execute successfully following the upgrade. |
Agent 7.8.1.0 - June 10, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
B-22083 | IBM i | UAGSRV | Provides a change that removes restrictions on the number of environment variables that can be provided to a Unix or IBM i task. The previous implementation limited the number of environment variables to 2000 on the affected platforms, but Universal Agent will now recognize as many environment variables as the system supports. |
D-13463 | IBM i | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem where a Universal Extension Task that defines a field with a percent sign (%) in its value may be misinterpreted by UAG Server, causing it to crash. |
D-13553 | Unix | UAGSRV | Fixes a problem where a Universal Extension Task will stay in a Running state if the SECURITY option in the Universal Agent configuration file (uags.conf) is set to pam_sessions. |
Agent 7.8.0.1 - May 13, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
D-11317 | Unix | UAGSRV | Improves trace file messaging for an Agent File Monitor task that executes on a Linux/Unix Agent. Messages are now consistent with those written for Agent File Monitor tasks that execute on Windows Agents. |
D-12016 | Unix | UCMD | Library dependencies updated due to vulnerabilities. |
D-12785 | All | All | Improve data security by making sure all references to sensitive data are cleared before the memory holding that data is freed. Note that no memory was leaked nor was any sensitive data exposed prior to this change. This change applies to the way in which the Universal Agent applications are built. Some compilers may "skip" a call to clear memory in situations where that that memory is immediately freed in the next statement. This is an undesirable optimization, and this change prevents the call to clear the memory from being skipped. |
D-12805 | Unix | UEM | Fixes a problem where UEM tries to monitor a symbolic link on a Linux system that resides in a world-writeable directory. |
D-13397 | Unix (Linux Intel only) | INSTALL | A Universal Agent install or upgrade on Linux Intel (the RPM or Debian package) would replace file permissions for the This issue only affects users of the Universal Agent for SOA product. |
D-13418 | Unix | UDM | Add support for the rdw session attribute for UDM sessions that execute on Linux/Unix. This change allows users to inform UDM that a file transferred from Linux/Unix to z/OS contains RDW that can either be discarded or retained on a transfer to z/OS. This attribute was previously available on Windows and z/OS only. |
Agent 7.8.0.0 - March 31, 2025
Change Id | Platform | Component | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
B-18389 | Unix | UAGSRV | Add the ability for USAP to collect real-time job-step execution updates and relay the information to the associated task instance in the Controller. This feature provides the USAP configuration options MONITOR_STEPS and PRINT_STEP_REPORT. |
B-20246 | All | UAGSRV | Add the ability to configure and provide the TLS SNI extension in the ClientHello request during the TLS/SSL handshake when connecting to an OMS Server. |
B-21229 | Unix (Linux only) | UPPS | Expands Application Fault Tolerant behavior by enhancing the UPPS configuration option, APPL_RETRY_MSG_IDS. The option now provides the ability to select specific message sets and status codes which should cause interrupted Web service calls to be retried. |
B-21232 | Unix (Linux only) | UAGSRV | Provides support for the PAM module type |
B-21382 | Unix (Linux Intel only) | INSTALL | Formalize certification and enhance delivery of Universal Agent OpenShift container deliveries. |
D-01220 | All | UBROKER | Ensure that the function responsible for removing records from the Universal Event Subsystem (UES) database processes always processes 1000 records with each iteration. Previously, the function always deleted the first 1000 records, causing the removal of subsequent records to be delayed. |
D-12474 | All | USAP | Fixed issue where EXTERNAL_STEP or EXTERNAL_COMMAND statements were not allowed to come directly after a temporary variant content statement in a USAP job definition file. |
D-12475 | All | OMSSRV | Fixes a situation in which an attempt to gracefully shutdown the Broker fails, and "Broker is not responding" errors are issued. On some occasions when this error occurs, server components may continue to run and consume 100% CPU after the Broker is killed. |
D-12826 | All | UAGSRV | Fixes 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-12913 | Unix | UEXT | Fixes a situation in which a Universal Extension Task fails to reconnect to a Universal Agent following an Agent restart. |
D-12938 | Unix | 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. |
D-12946 | Unix | OMSSRV | Fixes a problem in which force finishing an Agent task may result in subsequent tasks to stay in Queued state. |
D-13034 | Unix (except HP-UX) | UEXT | Ensure that binaries bundled with an extension (using the zip_safe=false option) retain the necessary execute permissions when unbundled by the Agent. |
D-13106 | Unix | UCMSRV | Fixes a problem where a UCMD Server or UDM Server could crash upon startup when using PAM sessions. |
D-13128 | Unix (except HP-UX) | UEXT | Eliminates the "Exception while exporting metrics..." message that appears in a Universal Extension task's stderr when OTEL_EXPORT_METRICS is disabled. By design, no metrics should be exported when OTEL_EXPORT_METRICS is set to NO. |
D-13148 | All | OMSSRV | Fix an issue that prevented OMS Server from honoring configuration values specified via the environment variables that OMS provides. This fix was made to improve configurability for OMS Servers executing inside a container environment. |
D-13177 | Unix | USAP | Fixes an issue that caused USAP XBP 2.0 API calls to fail when the MAX_XBP configuration option was set to 2.0 and only XBP 2.0 was available on the SAP system. |
