V1.5.3 Release notes
Major features and enhancements
Added full integration with Cohesity's DataPlatform and marketplace, consolidating onto Cohesity for unified management, simpler protection, and deep security.

Added detection and notification on recall and restore of objects that were moved to Amazon S3 Glacier Deep Archive.
Added support for archive and recall of GDG Extended format data sets.
Resolved issues
Added detection and handling of write inconsistencies in the underlying IBM JVM. The fix detects an incomplete write attempt, reports it to the log and performs a retry. Additionally, a change to the JVM interface was implemented to significantly decrease the probability of this situation to happen.
Fixed the Export action to support SMF files format.
Fixed policy execution to prevent it from skipping the rest of a volume or of a storage group when encountering an unexpected error.
Reduced automatic recall retry attempts, to avoid long waits and excessive messages to the agent’s log and to the SYSLOG.
Fixed policy scheduling to ignore disabled policies.
Command Line Interface
Increase the CLI LISTDSN output size to accommodate very large queries.
User interface
Provide a configurable UI session timeout.
Installation
Support multiple licenses in a single license file to better facilitate Sysplex spanning over different machines and to avoid manual license updates in disaster recovery scenarios.
Simplify installation by improving the configuration file structure.
The server logs by default now rotate every 24 hours or 500MB.
Problem determination
The location of the server logs has been changed and is now under MODEL9_HOME/logs to allow easier retrieval of the logs when needed.
Improved jclouds log visibility to allow faster diagnosis of network-related issues.
Known issues
Automatic recall does not perform as expected in situations such as IDCAMS DELETE MASK and LISTDSI NORECALL. These situations are documented internally and will be handled in a future release. The suggested workaround is to use the CLI DELARC command to delete archived data sets and the ZM9$NORC DD to exclude automatic recall from specific jobs.
