IJ44348: BMXAA0024E ERROR WHEN DELETING ATTRIBUTES FROM CHILD CLASSIFICATION AFTER CLEARING PARENT CLASSIFICATION IN CLASSIFICATIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  Error message: " BMXAA0024E - The action DELETE is not allowed
  on object CLASSSPEC" was received when deleting attributes from
  a child classification, even when the child classification was
  already cleared from the parent classification.
  
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Go to the Classifications application.
  2. Create a classification: PARENT_TEST.
  3. Add a new object for Use With as Asset.
  4. Add a new attribute e.g. ALT NAME, tick the box for Apply
  Down Hierarchy .
  5. Save the record.
  6. Create another classification CHILD_TEST.
  7. Set the parent classification as PARENT_TEST.
  8. Save the record.
  9. The attribute ALT NAME appears in this child classification
  automatically as it is inherited from the parent classification.
  The field "Inherited from" is populated.
  
  10. Try to delete this attribute row from this child
  classification.
  11. The following error is displayed as expected: "BMXAA0024E -
  The action DELETE is not allowed on object CLASSSPEC. Verify the
  business rules for the object and define the appropriate action
  for the object".
  12. Click the arrow next to the Parent Classification field on
  this child classification and select "Clear Parent
  Classification".
  13. Attempt to delete the row for the attribute again: the same
  error above is displayed. Delete function should have been
  allowed here as the attribute of this child classification no
  longer refers to the parent but the attribute remains readonly
  and the "Inherited From" field remains populated.
  
  
  EXPECTED RESULTS:
  
  Users should be able to delete attribute from child
  classification once it is no longer associated with the parent
  classification.
