This section contains information specific for this Fix Pack including what has been modified or introduced, what has been fixed, product versions or components to which the Fix Pack applies, and compatibility issues, if any.

This section includes the following subsections:

New and changed features introduced with Fix Pack 2

Changed features and feature capabilities

The following features have changed or have been introduced or removed since the General Availability version:
Higher security for job integrations
The Verify host name check box is selected by default in some integrations. Starting from version 10.1 Fix Pack 2, to increase the security standard provided by the product, this selection starts a check on the data contained in the keystore file. Ensure you provide the correct path and credentials to the keystore file in the Certificates section for the following integrations:
  • JSR 352 Java Batch
  • Restful
  • Job Management
  • Job Stream Submission
  • Variable Table
If the information in the Credentials section is not correct, this causes the job to fail with an error similar to the following:
AWKJMJ041E An error occurred during the Job submission. 
The error was "AWKSPI006E Keystore authentication failed. The error message is 
"No certificates provided, cannot verify the hostname."
If your integrations fail after upgrading to Fix Pack 2, you have the following options:
  • deselect the Verify host name check box.
  • provide the correct path and credentials to the keystore file.
