Issue/Introduction

When doing a transfer or move, in certain situations there are no backout records created to allow the package ship to send output to a remote location?

 

 

Resolution

Endevor does not create backout members for "IMPLICIT DELETES'.  Backout members will not get created for data sets that are accessed by a delete processor when the delete processor is invoked during a delete behind which was called from a MOVE or TRANSFER action.  In order to delete the element and ship the delete do the following:

Run the transfer as you normally would but add the following to the options in the SCL:

    BYPASS ELEMENT DELETE

This will not do the implicit delete.  At this point do an EXPLICIT DELETE:

    DELETE ELEMENT ELEMENT1
        FROM ENVIRONMENT    XXXX
                 SYSTEM                  XXXX
                 SUBSYSTEM          XXXX
                 TYPE                       XXXX
                 STAGE NUMBER    XXXX

The backout information will be created and the element will be deleted at the destination of

the package ship.
