ENTMAINT Mode - Entity Maintenance › Delete Occurrences

Delete Occurrences

Use the DELETE function to remove an occurrence from CA Datacom Datadictionary. Deleting a TEST or HIST status occurrence removes the occurrence from CA Datacom Datadictionary. Deleting an occurrence that is in PROD status changes the occurrence to HIST status.

You can use the DELETE option in ENTMAINT Mode for the following non-Model occurrences:

You must use the DBMAINT Mode to delete a CA Datacom/DB Model structure or substructure and the FILEMAINT Mode to delete a CA FILE Model structure or substructure.

Do not use this option to delete a FIELD occurrence. For more information about deleting a FIELD occurrence in the ENTMAINT Mode, see Update Field.
