================================================= Maintenance for IBM Connect:Direct for UNIX 6.0.0 ================================================= This maintenance archive includes module replacements for the C:D UNIX 6.0.0 code base. It is applicable to C:D UNIX version 6.0.0, and contains all the new functionality and fixes as described in the C:D UNIX 6.0.0 Release notes, as well as fixes for the issues listed below. This release implements IBM's standard V.R.M.F method of identifying software. V, R, M and F are Version, Release, Modification and Fix Pack respectively. In general, V.R.M imply new functionality, while F is an accumulation of fixes called a Fix Pack. The term Fix Pack will be used going forward in place of Cumulative Maintenance. Individual fixes also have a new name, Interim Fixes, or iFixes for short. iFixes are numbered sequentially from one starting with any increment to V, R, M or F. Please see IBM's website for further details regarding this methodology. After applying the maintenance, the CLI banner will report that your C:D version is 6.0.0.x, where x is the current Fix Pack. It will also display the date that the maintenance was created. For more information, please refer to the C:D UNIX 6.0.0 Release Notes. ================================================= iFixes listed below apply to C:D for UNIX 6.0.0.0 ================================================= 001) MFT-10001 / APAR IT26905 commit date: 16 Nov 2018 -------------------------------------------------------- IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX uses IBM(R) Runtime Environment Java(TM) (JRE) Versions 8.0.5.15 and 7.0.10.25.

Also, the direct CLI output of a detailed select statistics command may include a message id and a Short Text description of the message. The Short Text description might be truncated if the text is very long. Note: It's remotely possible that a restarted process may fail on the snode side with an XSMG235I or XSMG239I message that refers to a file ending with .savedCTRstatLog. This indicates that there may be a copy step of the indicated process that is missing its CTRC record on the snode side. If user investigates and determines the CTRC record is logged, or is not necessary, then they may get past these errors by removing the indicated file that ends with .savedCTRstatLog and then releasing the process again. 037) CDUA-1529 commit date: 21 Jun 2019 ----------------------------------------- Cfgcheck does not accept more than one file.ioexit entry in initparm.cfg 038) CDUA-1403 commit date: 25 Jun 2019 ----------------------------------------- Display SEAserver node response over CDWS shall not display Override parameter 039) CDUA-1489 commit date: 09 Jul 2019 ----------------------------------------- Any process submitted using C:D Web Browser or C:D Web Services for validation with STARTT parameter in process or submit step having some valid values, then validation passes with errorneous conversion of STARTT parameter at C:D end.

The erroneous double quotes get added during an upgrade or installation. 107) MFT-12251 / APAR IT37493 commit date: 12 Jul 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- The cdpmgr process failed to start, logging error XPMD007I in the statistics. 108) MFT-12051 / APAR IT36806 commit date: 23 Jul 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- The ndmcmgr module may terminate with a signal 11 (SIGSEGV) if a client sends invalid information. 109) MFT-12380 / APAR IT37900 commit date: 10 Aug 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- If the name of the S3 IO Exit is different of 'S3', the exception S3IOExitException: S3File: Invalid filename pathname is detected 'null' is raised. 110) CDUA-2980 / APAR IT38016 commit date: 17 Aug 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- After upgrading to C:D Unix 6.0/6.1, an attempt to open the 'direct' prompt with a trace parameter failed with error XAPI005I Return Code: 8 Feedback: 0. Ensure that the ndmauth trace logs are always written to the ndm/bin directory to avoid permissions failures on creation of the trace logs. 111) MFT-12349 / APAR IT38059 commit date: 24 Aug 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- The S3 File IO Exit included in IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX uses Apache Commons Codec Version 1.11. This version is vulnerable to the following issue, disclosed by Apache Tomcat Information: Third Party Entry 177835: Apache Commons Codec could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by the improper validation of input. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a method call to obtain sensitive information. 112) CDUA-2043 / APAR IT37922 commit date: 30 Aug 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- A copy step using zFBA may fail and report message SCZF004E, Could not Open zFBA devices. If this failure is traced, the step may hang in execute state with a rapidly growing trace file output and ndmsmgr consuming significant CPU resource. 113) MFT-12210 / APAR IT37291 commit date: 30 Aug 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- When pulling from a wildcard source specification on the remote node to an S3 bucket on CDU, the first copy step fails reporting FIOX021E. Subsequent steps may succeed, but the source and destination file names will be mismatched in the copy termination records (CTRCs). Wildcard copy steps more generally may have incorrect source and destination file names specified in the local or remote step start records (LSSTs or RSSTs). 114) MFT-12318 / APAR IT37795 commit date: 29 Sep 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- Due to newer versions of Linux not maintaining binary compatibility for the Transport Independent RPC Library (libtirpc) with older versions, RHEL 8 and RHEL 7, for example, CDU binaries executed from a directory other than our ndm/bin directory may fail, indicating "error while loading shared libraries: libtirpc.so.1". See the Known Restrictions page of the CDU Release Notes for more details. The Known Restrictions page also describes a symbolic link which may be created to enable execution of CDU binaries from directories other than ndm/bin. If implementation of this link was desired, it had to be created manually. This fix updates the interactive and automated installation scripts to provide an option for creating this link during installs and upgrades. The interactive installation script, cdinstall, will prompt for the option if the link is not detected. A new parameter, cdai_tirpcCreateLink, has been added to the automated installation script, cdinstall_a, which takes a 'y' or 'n' value to optionally create this link. 115) CDUA-3066 / APAR IT38735 commit date: 20 Oct 2021 -------------------------------------------------------- In some cases on Linux x86 and Linux zSeries platforms, an automated upgrade (cdinstall_a) will fail, with the installation trace file showing finalRc=6, and the exitStatusFile.txt showing CDAI006E, Setting root attributes failed. Also, an automated install or upgrade invoking the --tirpcCreateLink command line option will fail, with the trace file showing finalRc=2, and the exitStatusFile.txt showing CDAI002E Invalid argument found. argument: --tirpcCreateLink.
