Products

Issue/Introduction

Customer is planning to delete a View database that has old data from years ago and not in use for some time.

They want to know the impact on the XMS task, if this no longer used database was deleted and it's reference still exists in the EE0XMCTR table.

Environment

Release : 14.0

Resolution

There would not be any impact on XMS if the EE0XMCTR table contains a reference to a deleted View or Deliver database.

This is because, upon starting the XMS task, XMS does not check the MVS catalog to see if a database, referenced in the EE0XMCTR table, actually exists.
