Automatic removal of USS user content uploaded by Dependency Base Build from IDz build process to avoid impact in further builds

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

We are starting to receive complaints from developers using IDz Dependency Base Build due to unexpected behaviors in their build processes. Those compains are related with the build process using different copybooks than the ones the developer contains in its local project.

This can happen in certain situations. For example, developers using different projects that upload its content in different paths inside USS. A developer takes a copybook from the baseline and uses it in a build process but later on he discardes its changes and wants to use the original one that is in an internal PDS.

    We have found other issue related with this topic. A developer updated a Cobol file previously built with UserBuild and was not able to build the new version again. The compiler was always taking the previous version and we were unable to find it in USS. After deleting its USS workspace the developer was able to build it successfully.

    I our opinion UserBuild should only take into account the files uploaded by the developer in execution time. One possible approach is the removal of all source files uploaded to USS before or after ZAppBuild execution.
