Symptoms

Post 8.53 tools upgrade, the user is no longer able to delete other user's private queries via Query Administration.  When select for deletion, the queries are removed from the view as if deleted; however, a new search returns them in the active result set. The owner of the private query is able to successfully delete.

On previous PeopleTools versions to PT 8.53(PT 8.52 and earlier) the user can successfully delete other user's private queries via Query Administration. When select for deletion, the queries are removed from the view as deleted and a new search does not return them in the active result set as they have been successfully deleted.

Steps
-------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:

1. Login to PIA with PSHC

2. Navigate to Reporting Tools > Query > Query Manager

3. Create a new private query(e.g. SB_QA_TEST)

4. Query SQL:
SELECT A.EMPLID, A.DEPTID, A.JOBCODE, A.LOCATION
 FROM PS_JOB A, PS_EMPLMT_SRCH_QRY A1
 WHERE ( A.EMPLID = A1.EMPLID
  AND A.EMPL_RCD = A1.EMPL_RCD
  AND A1.OPRID = 'PSHC'
  AND ( A.EFFDT =
  (SELECT MAX(A_ED.EFFDT) FROM PS_JOB A_ED
  WHERE A.EMPLID = A_ED.EMPLID
  AND A.EMPL_RCD = A_ED.EMPL_RCD
  AND A_ED.EFFDT   AND A.EFFSEQ =
  (SELECT MAX(A_ES.EFFSEQ) FROM PS_JOB A_ES
  WHERE A.EMPLID = A_ES.EMPLID
  AND A.EMPL_RCD = A_ES.EMPL_RCD
  AND A.EFFDT = A_ES.EFFDT) ) )

5. Sign Out

6. Login to PIA with PS

7. Navigate to PeopleTools > Utilities > Administration > Query Administration

8. Search by: Query Name: (e.g. SB_QA_TEST)

9. Select the query

10. Delete the query

11. In the Query Administration perform a New Research by the same Query name - the query still exists but does not have any Admin Active Options(Delete button, Enable/Disable buttons etc.)

12. Sign Out

13. Login with PSHC

14. Navigate to PeopleTools > Utilities > Administration > Query Administration

15. Search by: Query Name: (e.g. SB_QA_TEST)

16. The query still occurs and may be deleted permanently only by PSHC User, the owner of the private query.

Changes

A new feature has been implemented in PeopleTools 8.53 version.
