Techniques

The following techniques can improve the process involving object deletions:

• Use the mainframe delete object whenever possible instead of subsetting to delete an object.
• Flag objects for delete during peak processing by renaming them with a starting prefix (XXDEL_). Delete objects during non-peak processing.

Most deletes run quickly without causing contention. Some objects, such as procedure steps, cause other objects like dialog flows and screens, to be deleted. This causes the process to run longer which may cause some contention.
