OneAgent release notes version 1.219

Rollout start: Jun 28, 2021

With this release, the oldest supported OneAgent versions are:

Standard Support

Enterprise Success and Support

1.201

1.195

OneAgent for JavaScript

We changed the algorithm for CLS to follow the evolved version as defined in Evolving the CLS metric. This could lead to jumps in CLS metrics, but it should only improve the CLS value.

OneAgent for iOS

We removed the crash forwarding feature for email and Hockeyapp.

Host group and network zone validation

OneAgent now performs additional validation for host group and network zone assignment when loading from the configuration file. Entries that don't conform to the host group or network zone naming pattern are rejected.

We recommend using the oneagentctl command or OneAgent installation parameters to assign a host to a host group and network zone.

New binaries in the installer package

We added the following binaries to the OneAgent installer package with all their required permissions and capabilities:

  • oneagentnettracer for NetTracer integration
  • oneagentnode_93 for Node.js 16 support
  • oneagentdmidecode to retrieve the host UUID

See Linux System Capabilities to learn Linux System Capabilities leveraged by theses binaries.

MQ header tags

OneAgent now writes custom dtdTraceTagInfo protocol tags to the MQ header in folder MQRFH2/usr, but only if the MQRFH2 extension header is present before an MQOutput node (optionMqTaggingMB:true). As a fallback, custom MQ headers are still created (optionMqTaggingFallbackMB:true). For more information, see Services.

Java

z/OS

  • oneagentzos-R121901.pax is now available
  • OneAgent version 1.219 is the last version supporting the z/OS code modules version 7.2 for CICS, IMS and zDC.
  • Removed support for CTS 4.2 and IMS version 12

When upgrading the zDC to version 1.219, a special handling is required to avoid abends in CICS regions that you're monitoring.

  1. Stop the zDC.
  2. Wait for 15 minutes for the CICS module to reset and clean up the control blocks.
  3. Update the zDC to the newer version.
  4. Start the zDC.
