Deleting Profiles

If you need to delete a profile you have defined to your system, follow these procedures. You can delete profiles using batch and online facilities.

Use the following steps in CA Datacom Datadictionary online:

Step 1

Either select option 4 on the Datadictionary Security Maintenance Menu, or type the DELETE PROFILE command in the command area to display the Delete Profile Prompter panel. For more information, see ADD PROFILE.

If you omit the profile name with the command, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the following panel:
