CSM: Get the DDDEFS correct if it is going to delete the entire environment

Products

• CHORUS SOFTWARE MANAGER

Issue/Introduction

You tried to download the new release of CA7 (V12.1). You supplied the information to build a new SMP/E environment.  Chorus received the product but when it tried to apply it failed.  Some of the non CA7 libraries (SCEELIB, SCEELKED) were not correct in the DDDEF.  You changed the IBM given name to start with SYS1.  However Chorus deleted the entire SMP/E environment thus you were not able to change the DDDEFs.  How do you get the DDDEFS correct if it is going to delete the entire environment?

Environment
