PM25544: ORPHANED CUSTOM UNIQUE NAMES ARE NOT CLEANED UP

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In a situation where a custom unique name remains while the
  corresponding resource has been deleted, the custom unique name
  cannot be re-assigned unless it has been removed manually. The
  asynchronous cleanup job, which is started regularly and also
  can be triggered manually using XMLAccess input script
  "Task.xml" does not clean up these orphaned custom unique names.
  XMLAccess input scripts that define new resources with the
  identical custom unique name cannot be executed successfully,
  unless the unique name has been removed.
  
  The XMLAccess output contains:
  
  <status element="[...
  uniquename=unique.name.1 name=Name1]" result="failed">
  <message
  id="EJPXA0142E">com.ibm.wps.command.xml.XmlCommandException:
  EJPXA0142E: Unique name unique.name.1 is already used in the
  portal.
  [... uniquename=unique.name.1 name=Name1]</message>
  <message
  id="EJPDB0046E">
  com.ibm.wps.services.identification.DuplicateNameException:
  EJPDB0046E: The unique name to be set, unique.name.1, is a
  duplicate.</message>
  

Local fix

• Manually delete orphaned unique names using the administrative
  portlet "Custom unique names".
  

Problem summary

• In a situation where a custom unique name remains while the
  corresponding resource has been deleted, the custom unique name
  cannot be re-assigned unless it has been removed manually. The
  asynchronous cleanup job, which is started regularly and also
  can be triggered manually using XMLAccess input script
  "Task.xml" does not clean up these orphaned custom unique names.
  XMLAccess input scripts that define new resources with the
  identical custom unique name cannot be executed successfully,
  unless the unique name has been removed.
  

Problem conclusion

• The asynchronous cleanup job also checks custom unique names for
  their validity and removes orphaned ones.
