Error description

• The client automatic deployment always waits for 2 hours
  before it removes temporary files from client machines.

  can be aborted due to prerequisites failure.
  In this case, the cleanup should not wait for 2 hours.

  The effort on this APAR is to improve
  existing post cleanup operation.
