cause

If a user profile exists in Profile and Password Management and the Option 16 Change Defaults (DISABLE DELETE + ) , Archive profiles deleted outside of PSSecure value is set to Y, the profile cannot be deleted.   In this situation, NetIQ Exit Programs ZPRP78 and ZPCL92 are installed on the DLTUSRPRF exit points and these exit programs check the exclusion list.  Some OS upgrades may include updates that involve removing and replacing IBM Q* profiles.
