Issue/Introduction

There is a requirement to update type definitions to the actual dataset instead of using symbolics. In some ENV members exists and Endevor will not allow and update the type definition.

Message on the screen is 'Elements Exists'.

Is there any way to update the type definition, while elements exist in the stage?

Resolution

Use C1BM5000 (Unload/Reload) utility which can be done at the System level. 

Here is the suggested plan;

1 - Unload elements from the Environment and System where the Type definition needs to be updated. 
2 - Delete the impacted elements. 
3 - Make the changes to the type definition.  
4 - Use SCL TRANSFER from Archive to restore the impacted elements.
