Hello Brightside community!
The Brightside team is pleased to announce the release of Brightside v4.0.16.
This release includes:
Zowe-related documentation has been relocated in the Tech Docs Portal. For information related to Zowe new features and updates to Broadcom product plug-ins and Zowe-conformant Broadcom APIs, go to Enterprise Support for Zowe.
CICS Plug-in for Zowe CLI
CICS Plug-in for Zowe CLI v5.0.6 includes the following updates:
Db2 Plug-in for Zowe CLI
Db2 Plug-in for Zowe CLI v5.0.8 includes the following updates:
Zowe 2.17
Zowe CLI v7.27.0 includes the following updates:
-
Added the ability to set JCL reader properties for --jobRecordLength, --jobRecordFormat, and --jobEncoding on the zowe jobs submit local-file and zowe jobs submit stdin commands. [#2139]
-
Added the ability to download job spool files using other codepages with --encoding on the zowe jobs download output, zowe jobs view spool-file-by-id, and zowe jobs view all-spool-content commands. This allows users to download job spool files in other languages (i.e. IBM-1147 for French). [#1822]
-
Fixed zowe daemon enable installing an invalid daemon binary on macOS. [#2126]
-
Updated braces dependency for technical currency. [#2157]
Zowe CLI Imperative Framework v5.25.0 includes the following updates:
-
Added BufferBuilder utility class to provide a convenient way of downloading to a stream that can be read as a buffer. [#2167]
-
Added ProfileInfo.profileManagerWillLoad function to verify the credential manager can load. [#2111]
-
Added support for proxy servers using a proxy http agent. Supports the usage of the environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY.
-
If any of these environment variables is set, and depending how the Zowe session is configured for http or https, the REST client instantiates an appropriate http agent.
-
If the z/OS system uses self-signed certificates then the proxy server must be configured to accept them.
-
If the proxy server itself is configured with self-signed certificates then the user needs to either import these certificates on their workstation, use rejectUnauthorized in their Zowe profile, or use the (not recommended) nodejs variable NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED=0.
-
Zowe also looks for the environment variable NO_PROXY. These work with a simple comma-separated list of hostnames that need to match with the hostname of the Zowe profile.
-
Updated error text for invalid command options so that allowable values are displayed as strings instead of regular expressions when possible. [#1863]
-
Fixed issue where the ConfigSecure.securePropsForProfile function did not list secure properties outside the active config layer. [#Zowe Explorer #2633]
-
Fixed error in REST client that when using stream could cause small data sets to download with incomplete contents. [#744]
-
Modified error text in SyntaxValidator.invalidOptionError. [#2138]
-
Updated braces dependency for technical currency. [#2157]
-
Updated micromatch dependency for technical currency. [#2167]
