Archiving Releases

The archive function in the Archive/Delete option is intended to satisfy audit or regulatory requirements for records retention while providing the opportunity to recover resources from a release that is no longer active.

The Archive/Delete function executes two separate processes.

The first process archives release records.

1. Delete the release archive PDS if it already exists.

2. Allocate the release archive PDS with the following name: erohlq.release.ARCHIVE

   where erohlq is the Release High Level Qualifier from ERO Global Administration, and release is the release name.

3. Copy release records from the Package Master and release records from the ERO Db2 tables to members in the ARCHIVE PDS.

PDS Member	Records Copied From	Db2 Table Type
*release name	Package Master release records	N/A
CLCT	Db2 Table CMNCLCT - Link Control Members	Release Audit
CLCTLOD	Db2 Table CMNCLCTLOD - Load (Names) within Link Control Members	Release Audit
CLOD	Db2 Table CMNCLOD - Composite Load Members	Release Audit
CLODLOD	Db2 Table CMNCLODLOD - Load within Load Members	Release Audit
CLODOBJ	Db2 Table CMNCLODOBJ - Object within Load Members	Release Audit
COPS	Db2 Table CMNCOPS - Copy within Source, Source Members	Release Audit
COPSCPY	Db2 Table CMNCOPSCPY - Copy within Source, Copy Members	Release Audit
DIRLOD	Db2 Table CMNDIRLOD - Directory Data for Load Members	Release Audit
DIRSRC	Db2 Table CMNDIRSRC - Directory Data for Non-Load Members	Release Audit
ERRORS	Db2 Table CMNERRORS - Audit Errors for Components	Release Audit
RLSCIM	Db2 Table CMNRLSCIM – Component in Motion	Release Management
RLSHST	Db2 Table CMNRLSHST – Component History Table	Release Management
RLSIAT	Db2 Table CMNRLSIAT – Release I/A Table	Release Management
SYSPUNCH	Db2 load control statements for all tables	N/A

The second process executes the same functions as the PD - Physical Delete option

1. Delete release records from Package Master.

2. Delete release area libraries.

3. Delete release records from Db2 tables.
