How to handle when CA Datacom/DB 15.0 or 15.1 upgrade fails when UNIVERSAL Database or Area still exists?

Environment

z/OS

Resolution

If UNIVERSAL exists, it must exist as a FILE/RECORD pair. 

Since the situation may have been overlooked during the upgrade to Datacom/DB 14.0, this needs to be addressed first. Refer to this Article ID: 40589 and run the same reports against this MUF to determine if UNIVERSAL entity as a FILE/RECORD pair is defined in to the DATA-DICT: 

Article ID: 40589  "CA Datacom 14.0 upgrade job BDUPG07 STEP9E DDPFI30001 FILE NAME NOT CODED"

Once UNIVERSAL FILE/RECORD pair exists, continue to delete the UNIVERSAL DATABASE and AREA.

Datacom/DB 15.0 upgrades require 15.0 PTF RO95060 and its SMP/e ++HOLD action.
Datacom/DB 15.1 upgrades require 15.1 PTFs RO95097 and RO98231 and its SMP/e ++HOLD action.

Note, as per the ++HOLD ACTION, after solution has been applied, run a DDUPDATE with the following to delete the UNIVERSAL database and area. Note that no version should be specified: 

-USR DATACOM-INSTALL,NEWUSER
-DEL AREA,UNIVERSAL
-END
-DEL DATABASE,UNIVERSAL
-END
