How to Delete Concurrent Program

When you design a Concurrent Program. one of the annoyance is that once the Program Short Name is used by a Concurrent Program, the GUI does not provide anyway to change it.  You can delete Concurrent Program Executable (if it is not being assigned in any Concurrent Program), but you cannot delete Concurrent Program.  Why?

• If this Concurrent Program has been executed and it will leave records in the Concurrent Requests tables (FND_CONCURRENT_PROCESSES, FND_CONCURRENT_REQUESTS, etc)
• This Concurrent Program could be a part of a Concurrent Program Set.
• This Concurrent Program is used in a non-SRS way (e.g. AP format payment, WSH shipment Document Set)

If this Concurrent Program does not referenced or used in anywhere, it is safe to delete it.  Oracledoes provide API to do this:  FND_PROGRAM.DELETE_PROGRAM. You can run the following script to delete such Concurrent Program, and you need to issue a COMMIT to really delete it.
