Deleting a change package
You do not normally delete change packages; they are kept for historical purposes. However, if a change package is created unnecessarily, then you may want to delete it.
When you delete a change package, CICSĀ® Configuration Manager erases the change package and its associated records from the repository, and adds a record of the deletion to the journal. No records are deleted from the journal.
If all of the following conditions are true, then automatic change package
numbering is decremented by one:
- The deleted change package is the most recent change package created using automatic change package numbering (for details, see Table 1)
- Automatic change package numbering is currently selected
- No resource definitions have been added to the change package
- The change package has not been migrated or installed
This allows you to immediately delete a new change package that was created in error, without leaving any evidence of the change package.
