Oracle Applications : Delete concurrent program & executable

The concurrent program and executable cannot be deleted from Oracle Applications front end,  instead you can only disable the concurrent program. This is because if deletion is allowed then the corresponding history of previous runs, audit records will be left with orphan records.

But sometimes during the development phase, you would want the option of deleting the concurrent program and executable. Following is the code snippet to delete a concurrent program and its executable from database.

------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
begin
------------------Program Short Name, Application Name 
if fnd_program.PROGRAM_EXISTS('XXWS01A',''My ABC Application') then
   fnd_program.DELETE_PROGRAM('XXWS01A',''My ABC Application');
end if;

------------------Executable Short Name, Application Name 
if fnd_program.EXECUTABLE_EXISTS('XXWS01A',''My ABC Application') then
   fnd_program.DELETE_EXECUTABLE('XXWS01A','My ABC Application');
end if;

end;
