Delete conflict
During the propagation of delete actions to a target system, conflicts may occur when administrative objects do not get deleted from the database. For example, a delete conflict can occur if there is a mismatch in the count and type of permission set in a policy access control rule on the target system and one that is requested for deletion in the import package. Conflicts encountered during a delete operation are displayed along with import conflicts in the import log file or on the Event Management utility. You can provide resolutions to delete conflicts from the Event Management utility or through a conflict resolution XML file.

The following table lists the conflict message that is displayed during the propagation of delete records of administrative objects on the target system using the business administrative change promotion command-line utility.
•  Conflict Description: Message displayed on the Event Management utility.
