To Delete or Rename Objects

Follow these steps:

1. Access the Main Menu.
2. Select options 1.3.3. Press Enter.
3. Enter the name of the model you want to work in, as it exists on the Host Encyclopedia.
4. Enter a slash (/) next to the execution option you want:
   • Online
   • Batch
5. Enter a slash ( / ) by an object type to display a list of all occurrences of those types in the model.
6. Press Enter. A message displays.

   Input has been accepted, press “enter” or enter the “accept” command to proceed. Press Enter.

   A selection list displays with all individual objects of the object type.

7. Enter one of the action codes next to one or more of the objects:
   • D (Delete object)
   • T (Trial delete object)
   • R (Rename object)
   • E (Expand)

   If you entered T and chose the online option, then a report displays for browsing. It contains a message describing the three possible results of the Delete action.

   • The following objects were deleted: The deletion was successful.
   • The selected object cannot be deleted because it is referenced by the following objects.

     A listing of the objects referenced follows.

   • The selected object cannot be deleted because it is checked out to a subset with update or delete or access capability.

   If you chose the batch option to delete or trial delete objects, then a confirmation panel is displayed. It displays the list of selected objects. Objects can be deleted from this panel. When you press Enter, a batch JCL is display for submission. The results of the delete action are displayed in the batch job output.

   If you entered R and chose the online option, continue by performing the following steps:

   1. The current name of the object displays. Enter the new name and press Enter.
   2. Press Enter. If you select multiple actions and multiple objects, the system does them in order starting from the top of the list.

   A message displays on the New Name line reporting the outcome. The possible values are:

   	SUCCESSFUL - the object was renamed
   

   or

   	NO INPUT - no new name was provided
   

   or

   	DUPLICATE - the object was not renamed because the new name is used 
   	for another object of the same type within the model
   

   or

   	Object is checked out for update or delete. Rename is not allowed.
   

   If more object occurrences are in the queue to be processed, the next occurrence is presented. When the queue is empty, the Object Occurrence panel displays.

   If more aggregate object occurrences are in the queue to be processed, the next Object Occurrence panel displays. When all the aggregates are processed, press CANCEL and the Aggregate Object Selection panel displays.

8. Press Enter to continue or End to exit. The Report Print Options panel displays.
