Local fix
Problem summary
Subprojects are associated with specific host systems and have no meaning when the host system connection has been deleted but they are currently left in a "broken" state with no path to recovery.
Problem conclusion
Our solution is to delete all subprojects associated with the connection being deleted since we don't want to get into the situation of having to support "zombie" subprojects that have no associated connection. This is consistent with how we deal with project (logical) resources for which we cannot find a corresponding physical resource. We will also display a warning message for the user (when there are associated subprojects) that deleting the connection will delete all associated subprojects (but will not affect the underlying files on z/OS) and allow the user to cancel the delete if they so choose. The problem listed in this APAR has been resolved with IBM Rational Developer for System z V8.5.1.4 Fix Pack which is available from the Recommended Fixes support download page: http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2294&uid=swg27006335
