Issue/Introduction



There is a file in Endevor that was used for checking Y2K dates. It is now no longer needed. 
The file is written to in the processors for this type.  A null was added to the processor using this file.
What would happen if the element was to be backed out in a package?

Environment

Release:
Component: ENDBAS

Resolution

There are 2 options to address the backout of the package: 

1. Commit all the packages for elements that use these processors, then update the processor to "null" out the file 

or 

2. Just keep the file.  If the file is removed removed and  the packages are committed, errors will occur. The commit will get errors however, the  "hooks" persay will be gone. The commit will attempt to find the members, if it cannot fine them it will error out which is expected in this case. After the commit, update the processors, remove the file and you should be fine.
