Managing SMP/E Environments › Remove or Delete an SMP/E Environment

Remove or Delete an SMP/E Environment

You can remove an SMP/E environment so that CA CSM no longer manages the SMP/E environment through the SMP/E Environments tab. You can also delete an SMP/E environment and its data sets from the system.

Note: While working with a particular SMP/E environment, the SMP/E environment is locked and other CA CSM users cannot perform any action against it. When the task finishes, logging out from CA CSM, or a CA CSM session is inactive for more than 10 minutes, the lock releases.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the SMP/E environment on the tree on the left side.

   The Installed Products, Products section appears.

2. Click the SMP/E Environment Information subtab.

   Information such as the SMP/E environment data set name and zones appears.

3. Perform the required actions:
   • Click Remove SMP/E Environment from CA CSM to remove knowledge about the SMP/E environment from CA CSM. Then, click OK in response to the confirmation dialog.

     Note: If you select an SMP/E environment being used in CA CSM by another user, a notification message appears. You are prevented from performing any actions on the SMP/E environment. You can either wait until the notification message disappears and the SMP/E environment becomes available, or click Cancel to select another SMP/E environment.

   • Click Delete SMP/E Environment to remove knowledge about the SMP/E environment from CA CSM and delete the SMP/E environment data sets from the system. Click OK in response to the dialog listing data sets to be removed. Then, click OK to confirm the SMP/E environment deletion.

   A dialog that shows the progress of the task opens. When the task completes, you can click Show Results on the Progress tab to close this dialog. The task output browser opens and you can view the action details. Click Close to close the task output browser.

   Note: While a task is in progress, you can perform other work. You can click Hide to exit the dialog and view the task status later on the Tasks tab.

   The task completes. The required action is performed.
