PH29419: CICS CONFIGURATION MANAGER IS ENHANCED TO PROVIDE AN MVS91.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• CICS Configuration Manager is enhanced to provide an option to
  force the delete of CCVDDD Repository definitions that
  otherwise would fail owing to referential integrity checks.
  
  
  Deletion of the CICS Configuration Manager CCVDDD Repository
  definitions such as:
  
   - CICS Configurations
   - Migration
  Schemes
   - Approval Profiles
   - Transform Rule Sets
   -
  Transform Groups
  
   ... are subject to referential integrity
  checks. If the definition for deletion is referenced by other
  Repository records, then the delete request fails. To complete
  the delete, a clean up of the referencing Repository records is
  required, either by deleting those records or removing the
  unwanted reference.
  
  Sometimes, the referencing records
  themselves are aged, unused, or inactive, but have been
  retained for historical reasons. For example, you may want to
  delete an Approval Profile no longer used, but it is referenced
  by many change packages that have completed their
  implementation. The work effort to clean up the old change
  package records is too excessive.
  
  The enhancement provides an
  option to force the delete, thereby ignoring referential
  integrity dependencies. The administrator can delete unwanted
  clutter for unused definitions, however the referencing
  definitions can be invalidated rendering them
  unusable.
