For backout of a CMN zMF package there is no backout of the lower test regions. Is anyone out there currently have customization that performs backout/removal in the lower test regions?

When we back out a package, there could still be some lingering objects in the lower test regions.
We use 3 sites as parallel streams and sometimes users can start in the wrong stream/site, thus leaving objects around.
We always recommend fixing forward, that is creating a package with the -1 version of each object in the package you want to back out, just for this reason of keeping all the lower regions clean.
It would be nice to have a flag or choice as to when you really want to use this.

    Hi Steven,
    With flag, do you mean that this flag will determine the type of blackout you want to perform?

    Hi Steven,

    There is something I don't understand. When a package is is installed, a PACKAGE DEMOTE CLEANUP is started for any site to which was promoted. So after install any objects ever promoted by the package should be cleaned in any promotion site to which it was promoted. Unless it was overlaid by another package but then it is no a 'version' of the package.

    What I'm I missing here, why are the objects you are referring to not going through this process?

    Best regards

    Hi :) ,
    Your best choice is:
    PROMOTE/DEMOTE CLEANUP and INSTALL CLEANUP.
    Cheers
