APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Previously, the option '-totalNumber' of 'istool workbench
  purgeOMD' did not allow to purge Operational MetaData (OMD) for
  a set of DataStage jobs in spite of the doucmentation about the
  '-totalNumber' option:
  "The number of job runs whose operational metadata you want to
  keep. The number of job runs are counted from the latest job
  run to the oldest job run."
  This has been resolved with the following behaviour:
   -assetID <ProjectID> -totalNumber n
  keep n records for each jobs referenced of the Project ID
   -assetID <EngineID> -totalNumber n
   keep n records for each jobs referenced of the Engine ID
  

Local fix

• Use the deletion by JobID if JR59036 is installed.
