PM17882: PLACE MIGRATION IMPORT ON A REPEAT DELETES PLACE DATA

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In some instances, during place migration, one or more
  places may fail. In the event that the place failures are
  addressed, the expected path is to be able to run the place
  migration import for those failed places. Current behavior
  is that in the event that the place migration import is run
  again on a place that has previously been at least partially
  migrated, the place data is cleaned up. The resulting migrated
  place is then empty. The desired behavior is that the place
  data is left alone (not deleted) and only the CAI instance
  cleaned up.

Problem summary

• In some instances, during place migration, one or more places
  may fail. In the event that the place failures are addressed,
  the expected path is to be able to run the place migration
  import for those failed places. Current behavior is that in the
  event that the place migration import is run again on a place
  that has previously been at least partially migrated, the place
  data is cleaned up. The resulting migrated place is then empty.
  The desired behavior is that the place data is left alone (not
  deleted) and only the CAI instance cleaned up.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code was changed so that the business component handlers
  of custom components are not invoked any more if an application
  needs to get purged during migration. This way no business data
  gets deleted.
