APAR status

Error description

• Under a MJC based build using an adaptor link, any subsequent
  step that fails will cause the build to immediately purge as if
  the adaptor link step had failed.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  - Create sample adaptor to perform simply echo command.
  
  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <!-- (c) Copyright by IBM Corp. and other(s) [2003], 2007 All
  Rights Reserved. -->
  <!DOCTYPE PROJECT_INTERFACE SYSTEM "interface.dtd">
  <PROJECT_INTERFACE IFTYPE="Source" INSTANCE="7.021">
  <interface>
  	<run command="echo" params="" server="$BF_SERVER" dir="/"
  timeout="360"/>
  
  	<onstep result="fail">
  
  	</onstep>
  
  	<onstep result="pass">
  
  	</onstep>
  
  	<onproject result="pass">
  
  	</onproject>
  </interface>
  
  <command name="echo">
  	<execute>
  		echo "Echoing"
  	</execute>
  </command>
  
  </PROJECT_INTERFACE>
  
  - Create sample project that will fail the step.
  
  ie:
  Project: Test_Project
  - Step1: Echo Hello: echo hello
  - Step2: Fail the step: exit 1
  
  - Link adaptor to Test_Project
  
  - Execute Test_Project with adaptor link
  
  
  Expected result:
  
  Build is marked as failed after executing step 2.
  Build is not immediately purged and the build number reverted.
  
  
  Actual result:
  
  Build is marked as failed after executing step 2.
  Step 2 is marked as adaptor link step.
  Build is immediately purged and the build number reverted.
  

Local fix

• Use the .lock/.unlock dot commands at beginning and end of
  project to prevent build purging.
