Remove Model library from PTC Implementer control

Products

• CA 2E

Issue/Introduction

The license for Implementer expired.  Purchasing the Implementer license goes through the Purchase Order process and takes a longer time.
Unfortunately, our model that is under CM/Implementer control is not accessible for development needs.  We urgently need to delink our model from using the CM/Implementer tool. Can you please provide us the instructions on how to achieve that?

Environment

CA 2E 8.7.3/Implementer 12.5

Resolution

There are two-step solutions.

A. Remove the link between 2E and Implementer where there are no pending open Locks.
a) Login into the IBMi and set the library list for the 2E Model
b) Run the following command - YCHGMDLVAL MDLVAL(YCHGCTL) VALUE(*NONE)  
 
B. In some cases, there can be changes that there could be pending open locks. In that scenario, the above command will generate an error message.
You have to first resolve the open locks and then retry the command in step A (b). 
If the license has expired and the Implementer cannot be accessed, directly modify the data area related to the YCHGCTL model value by following the steps provided below.

In the above scenario, you can perform the following to resolve the open locks: 

a) Login into the IBMi and set the library list for the 2E Model
b) Run the command - CHGDTAARA DTAARA(YCHGCTLRFA *ALL) VALUE('*NONE')
 

With this, the link is removed.
