PH69953: ENHANCE THE FETCH DDL API TO RETURN AN ERROR WHEN GHOST OBJECTS ARE DETECTED

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• * Full abstract
  
  Enhance the Fetch DDL API to return an error when Ghost Objects
  are detected and instruct users to run Sync Application to
  remove them.
  
  Problem Description:* The Fetch DDL API has been updated to
  detect Ghost Objectsobjects dropped from the catalog but still
  referenced by the Application. When detected, the API now
  returns an error along with application details requiring a Sync
  Application action. The Sync Application feature has been
  enhanced to display all ghost objects and provide an option to
  remove them, ensuring the Application is fully aligned with the
  catalog. With this change, the Fetch DDL API will no longer
  return any Ghost Objects.
  
  User Impact:* CICDe users will now fetch only valid, nonghost
  Db2 objects
