PI61809: YOU MAY BECOME UNABLE TO DELETE A RESOURCE TEMPLATE

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Steps to reproduce with two servers
  
  On Source:
  
  1. Create an application A (not from template) with an
  environment
  E1 and a component C
  
  2. Add a Top Resource T , an Agent and the component C to
  the
  Environment E1
  
  3. Create a Resource template X from the resource T. It
  contained
  the agent and the Component under the agent
  
  4. Create an Application Template B with an Environment
  template B1,
  based on the above Resource template X
  
  5. Export the Application Template B and the Application A
  
  On Target:
  
  1. Import the Application A, this created the Component C
  with
  empty environment E1
  
  2. Import the Application Template B. This created the
  Resource
  Template X
  
  Important: in the Resource Template, the Agent appeared as a
  regular
  folder, not like an Agent, but there was no error.
  
  3. Open the environment E1 of the Application A, added a Top
  resource
  
  4. Select: Add from template
  
  and then selected the template X:
  
  Cannot add a component at /top/X/IBM277-R90FKAU9/C because it
  does not
  have an ancestor agent.
  
  where
  IBM277-R90FKAU9
  is the name of my original agent available on the source server
  (no
  agent was so far available on the target server).
  
  (So far so good)
  
  Now when you delete things so that I can redo the import after I
  attached the agent to target server.
  
  1. Delete the Application template B. This will take care of
  deleting the Environment template B1
  
  2. Delete the Application A: Assume that this will take care
  of deleting the Environment E1
  
  3. Delete the Resource Template X: it fails with the message:
  Cannot delete a resource template that is in use by an
  environment template. Used by: 'B1'
  
  When you check the Derby database:
  
  DS_RESOURCE_TEMPLATE contains X but no B1
  
  SEC_RESOURCE still contains B1 as Enabled. I set Enabled to N as
  follows:
  
  ID                                       VERSION     NAME
  ENABLED     SEC_RESOURCE_TYPE_ID
  ------------------------------------     -------
  -----------------     -------

  aa8a78b5-866c-4066-966a-cd15d0ae57cc          0    B1
  N          20000000000000000000000000000113

Problem conclusion

• Fix provided in UCD 7.0.4.0. Agents are now able to be added to
  resource templates and can be imported / exported successfully.
