The autoinstall control program at DELETE

To provide symmetry of control over the autoinstall process, the autoinstall control program is also invoked when:
  • A session with a previously automatically-installed resource has been ended
  • An autoinstall request was accepted by the user program, but the subsequent INSTALL process failed for some reason.

To make it easier for you to write your control program, these two events can be considered to be identical. (There is no difference in the environment that exists, or in the actions that might need to be performed.)

Invoking the control program at DELETE enables you to reverse the processes carried out at the INSTALL event. For example, if the control program at INSTALL incremented a count of the total number of automatically installed resources, then the control program at DELETE would decrement that count.
