Deleting a User

If you need to delete a user who has left the company or has been transferred, review the user's queries, terms, dialogs, personal database, and so on, to see if they need to be removed, or assigned to another user. (See Changing the Extended Attributes of a Query, Dialog or Term for more information.)

Caution Reassign the JCL members and authorizations that you wish to keep before deleting a user because CA Dataquery deletes the user, the user's JCL member and his authorizations. The user's CA Datacom Datadictionary PERSON entity-occurrence is not deleted.

An example of a Directory of CA Dataquery Users Panel follows:

Directory of CA Dataquery Users (DQK90)

=> Place the cursor on a name to delete or update. Use PF3 to add new users ------------------------------------------------------------------------DQK90 DATAQUERY: DIRECTORY OF DATAQUERY USERS START WITH => _______________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- USER NAME | DATE ADDED | DATE USED | TERMINAL USED ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- <PF1> HELP <PF2> RETURN <PF3> ADD <PF4> UPDATE <PF5> ACTIVE USERS <PF6> DELETE <PF7> BACKWARD <PF8> FORWARD <PF9> PASSWORDS <PF10> PROFILE

Action

The START WITH field, located in the upper-right corner of this panel is where you enter the full or partial name of the user where you want the listing to start. When you press Enter, CA Dataquery refreshes the Directory of CA Dataquery USERS panel with the user that you specified on the first line of the listing. You can also page forward using <PF8> FORWARD or backward using <PF7> BACKWARD until you reach the member that you want to view and/or edit.

Choose one of the following to delete the user:

When CA Dataquery displays the Directory of CA Dataquery Users panel, place the cursor on the user name that you want to delete. (You cannot delete yourself.) Press <PF6> DELETE to delete that user. CA Dataquery then redisplays the Directory of CA Dataquery Users panel.

See Adding a New User for an explanation of the Directory of CA Dataquery Users panel and its PF keys.
