IJ52845: LWE REGISTRY CONFIGURATION CACHE IS NOT FREED AFTER FILESET DELETION

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When File Audit Logging is enabled, during fileset deletion, the
  LWE registry configuration is loaded into memory to retrieve the
  audit fileset name to check whether the fileset to be deleted is
  an audit fileset. This LWE registry configuration is not freed
  after retrieving the audit fileset name, leading to old
  configuration data being used when a new audit producer is
  configured.
