Patch v7.4L

Release date: 06/16/2026

IS-16807

Enhancement: Increased efficiency when delivering journal records to the Ironstream Hub servers, improving throughput during high-volume journal activity.

IS-19148

Enhancement: The Ironstream IBM i agent now delivers data to multiple Ironstream Hub servers in a round robin format, improving load distribution across Hub servers.

IS-19168

Fixed issue: Corrected misleading messages in the EVSTATUS diagnostic report. Operators relying on EVSTATUS for platform health checks receive accurate status information.

IS-19220

Fixed issue: The EVMONJRNL module now clears the lock flag whenever a job is stopped for any reason. Previously an uncleared lock flag could block the journal monitor on restart, interrupting journal record delivery until manually resolved.

Patch v7.4K

Release date: 04/02/2026

IS-19015

Fixed issue: The Ironstream agent error‑handling logic has been improved to ensure that agent jobs encountering authority failures generate an error message to the log and terminate instead of repeatedly retrying the failing operation, preventing excessive authorization events and potential system instability.

Patch v7.4J

Release date: 01/27/2026

IS-18528

Fixed issue: Prevent EVMSGQMON job from terminating when the EVUSER profile does not have *USE authorization to view a specified message queue.

Enhancements:
  • Added new message EVM0168 to the EVMSGF message file.
  • Modified EVINIT to force ownership of created data queues to the EVUSER profile.

Patch v7.4I

Release date: 09/22/2025

IS-17739

Fixed issue: Enhanced validation of monitored objects in journals.

Patch v7.4H

Release date: 07/22/2025

IS-17035

Fixed issues:
  • Updated JLSCAN output to write the date on the MessageID line in MM/DD/YY format.
  • Read output only from the QDPJOBLOG file.

Patch v7.4G

Release date: 10/29/2024

IS-15372

Fixed issues:
  • Corrected counting of active jobs during subsystem start.
  • Cleared lock flag in EVMONJRNL during an unexpected job end.

Patch v7.4F

Release date: 11/14/2022

IS-10507

Enhancement: Added UTC offset to the version message.

Patch v7.4E

Release date: 08/04/2022

IS-10306

Fixed issue: Prevented forwarding of journal entries with the DB2 Mirror program name "QDBMSRVR".

Patch v7.4D

Release date: 05/23/2022

IS-9332

Fixed issue: Job looping when the server connection is lost before command output is fully delivered.

IS-8803

Enhancement: Added QGYGTLE API call to collect a large number of disk units during Discovery.

IS-8848

Enhancement: New utility to collect old QHST messages.

IS-8849

Enhancement: New utility to collect old journal entries.

IS-9586

Enhancement: Added read loop to retrieve complete line length when distributing agent parameters.

IS-9668

Enhancement: New utility to check completion of all journal processing jobs.

Patch v7.4C

Release date: 12/10/2021

IS-9042

Enhancement: Changed ECQHSTPROC to save the timestamp of the last successful QHST message read and use that timestamp when making the next call for more messages.

Patch v7.4B

Release date: 10/18/2021

IS-8953

Fixed issue: Added timeout to the TLS read function to prevent EVTCTLPROC (EVCMSG) from hanging while reading configuration distributions.

Patch v7.4A

Release date: 09/27/2021

IS-8797

Fixed issue: Added WouldBlock check to TLS read processing.

IS-8883

Enhancement: Lowered run priority of EVSHSTPROC to a default of 55 to prevent CPD2537.

IS-6610

Fixed issue: Check for and discard invalid message IDs in the QHST filter table (EVF021).

Enhancements:

  • Modified EVINIT to clear the EVQHSTQ when the 'clearq' option is specified at startup.
  • Updated error-handling logic across multiple components to:
    • Wait for a user-defined interval when the SendQ is full ( instead of issuing the EVC050, EVM0015 and dropping into a MSGW status).
    • Retry the wait for a user-defined number of times before terminating the job.
