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requirements for records retention while providing the opportunity to recover resources from a release that is no longer active.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.

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.
