Symptoms

I'm trying to delete a DNS record using POA API method pem.deleteDNSRecord passing the record id, method returns

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<methodResponse><params><param><value><struct><member><name>status</name><value><i4>0</i4></value></member></struct></value></param></params></methodResponse>

But the record is not deleted.

Cause

You are trying to delete system DNS record, pem.deleteDNSRecord can remove only records created manually by the customer.

Resolution

Use pem.disableDNSRecord to disable system records.

If you are using DNS records in APS packages you may use pem.createDNSRecord method instead of APS API to create a record, in this case it will be created as manual.
