Error description

  using a CICS BUNDLE.  The JVMSERVER is later disabled and the
  BUNDLE then discarded.  This leaves the application archive file
  in the Liberty JVMSERVER's installedApps directory.

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED: All CICS users.                              *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Discarded Liberty JVMSERVER             *
  *                      applications not removed from the       *
  *                      installedApps directory.                *
  ****************************************************************
  A Liberty JVM server is enabled and an application is installed
  using a BUNDLE resource.  CICS copies the application archive
  file to the server's installedApps directory and adds an
  application element to installedApps.xml.  The application runs
  successfully.
  
  The JVMSERVER is subsequently disabled, and whilst disabled the
  BUNDLE is discarded.  When the JVMSERVER is re-enabled CICS
  removes the application element from installedApps.xml, however
  the application archive remains in the installedApps directory.
  

Problem conclusion

• CICS has been modified so that when a Liberty JVMSERVER is
  enabled application archive files are deleted from the
  installedApps directory if the application's BUNDLE has been
  discarded.
