You use this dialog box to issue an IDCAMS DELETE request to delete
the data sets that you select in the Tivoli® Enterprise
Portal. To learn about the standard capabilities
of a dialog box, see Standard tabs in the dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit. The
topic includes a link to the Reference
guides for commands that are used in the Storage Toolkit.
The dialog box provides the following options:
- Entry type: Select an option in this drop-down list to
identify the type of object or entry to be deleted. If the object
to be deleted is a catalog, truename entry, or VSAM volume record,
you must specify its entry type as USERCATALOG, TRUENAME, NVR, or
VVR. If you delete a migrated data set without specifying the entry
type, DFSMShsm deletes the data set without recalling
it.
- Catalog: Type the name of the catalog that contains
the
entries to be deleted.
- Erase: Select this option to
cause the deleted entries
to be overwritten with binary zeros.
- Force: Select
this option to enable deletion of entries,
even if they are not empty.
- Purge: Select this option
to enable deletion of entries,
even when a retention date has been specified.
- Recovery: Select this option to enable retention of information
regarding the deleted records, in anticipation of a recovery operation.
When you select Recovery, the Erase, Force, Purge,
and Noscratch options are disabled.
- Noscratch: Select this option to enable deletion of the
catalog entry from the catalog without mounting the volume that contains
the object defined by the entry.
