PM26688: Canceling baseline creation does not clean up after itself

Rational Synergy Fix Pack 3 (7.1.0.3) for 7.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When a build manager cancels the baseline creation process from
  the Synergy GUI by either clicking the 'Red X' or the Window's
  'X' icon, the tool does  cancel the operation but creates a
  baseline nonetheless.  The baseline appears to be in an
  inconsistent state.
  
  The result is a baseline that contains prep projects as opposed
  to static copies.  This can reportedly lead to fs_check problems
  (missing cache file for non-static projects).
  
  Support has found that canceling a baseline creation results in
  a baseline getting created but put into the 'deleted_baseline'
  state, and that it contains newly created prep subprojects
  instead of static ones.  One might expect the newly created
  subprojects to either become static or be deleted altogether.
  
  Having extra prep projects causes confusion for Synergy admin
  charged with cleaning up.  Worse, the problem may go unnoticed
  for some period of time which makes cleaning up more difficult
  after more history has been introduced.
