Why would you want to delete a product that comes as part of the base; for example, BDT and is either ENABLE or DISABLED via IFAPRDxx?
Thanks, Craig From: Jon Perryman <jperr...@pacbell.net> To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU, Date: 12/17/2013 15:38 Subject: Re: "Deinstall" software, for example BDT Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> Never manually delete a product without going thru SMP/E. I'm not familiar with BDT so lets say you wanted to delete C/C++. They are dependant upon LE. The next time an LE PTF has a COREQ for a C/C++ PTF, you will be screwed. Using SMP/E function delete is the only recommended method to delete a product. As someone mentioned earlier, you should check for cross product dependencies but if you did miss something, then you can just re-install the product.
