Control-M/Server PACTV.9.0.20.207

BMC Software is releasing patch PACTV.9.0.20.207 to correct several problems and enhance Control-M/Server 9.0.20.200 for UNIX and Windows.

Note

You must install Control-M/Server 9.0.20.200 before you install this patch.

Enhancements

The following enhancement is included in PACTV.9.0.20.207:

WBL-93573: Control-M/Server 9.0.20 will be compatible with the upcoming release of Control-M/Agent 9.0.21. After you install Control-M/EM 9.0.21, you can upgrade the Control-M/Agent to version 9.0.21 by performing a deployment process.

Corrected Problems

The following table describes the corrected problems that are fixed in PACTV.9.0.20.207:

Tracking number

Description

CTM-4129

You can now use the ctmvar utility to update the value of a local variable at the folder level which is identified by the Order ID.

CTM-6561

Jobs do not Run when you use the ctmudly utility, and the following error message is sent by the Control-M/Server CE process:

duplicate key value violates unique constraint

CTM-6131

The ctmudchk utility output for jobs that did not Run (previously Order), contains jobs that did Run.

CTM-6546

Jobs run without Capture from Job Output when the job runs as part of the New Day procedure.

CTM-6344

SMART folders and Jobs might not Run (previously Ordered) according to specific dates defined in the Rule Based Calendar. For more information, see Scheduling a job for specific dates.

Note

  • The patch prevents Rule Based Calendars that are uploaded to Control-M/Server from becoming corrupted, but does not fix existing calendars in Control-M/Server.
  • To fix the corrupted Rule Based Calendars, you must Force Upload them from Control-M/EM to Control-M/Servers after you install the patch.
  • If you applied the workaround to this problem, rollback the workaround described in 000393461 after you install the patch.

CTM-6378

The SSL connection between Control-M/Server and Control-M/Agent that uses ECDHE ciphers fails.

After you install the patch, update the ciphers as described in Configuring Protocols and Ciphers for Zones 2 and 3.

CTM-6935

Jobs do not Order when you use the ctmudly utility and if a download to Control-M/EM occurs during the Order.

CTM-6837

The database owner password might appear for a very short time when you check the status of active processes with the ps command and Control-M/Server uses an Oracle database. This occurs when you execute the DBUStatus utility manually or when Control-M/Server executes the start_ca utility. 

CTM-6625

The Control-M/Server CE process restarts when a message is received at its ports from an unidentified source.
