APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you move a rule package and delete its previous parent rule
  package in the same change activity, then trying to complete
  the change activity results in the following error for the end
  user:
  
  "Unable to load /decisioncenter/s/applyOperation?branchId
  =brm.ChangeAct:183:183&operationName=CompleteChanges status:
  500"
  
  and the logs contains an exception ilog.rules.teamserver.m
  odel.IlrInternalException$ShouldNeverHappen
  

Local fix

• A possible workaround consists in breaking the 2 modifications
  down in 2 different change activities :
  1) move the rule
  package in a new parent rule pachage in a first change activity
  
  2) delete the previous parent rule package in another change
  activity

Temporary fix

• A possible workaround consists in breaking the 2 modifications
