Defining the Target Configuration › Target Definition › Delete a Target

Delete a Target

The principle of Referential Integrity (RI) applies to the function of deleting a CA Gen target definition. When a target is deleted, all related models and business systems are also deleted. However, the script associated with the target is not deleted.

Note: If you delete the wrong target, you must reenter each element of a deleted target separately.

The delete process removes the records from the IT configuration database, but it does not delete any data sets. Your definition still exists, but it is not identified to the IT. To reclaim this disk space, you must delete the files from the disk.

Follow these steps:

1. With the IT window displayed, select Option 1.

   The Installation Tool window is displayed.

2. Select Option 3, Maintain Configuration Information.

   The Selection List screen is displayed.

3. Select the target configuration you want to delete and press Enter.

   The Target Definition screen is displayed.

4. Press F10 to delete the target definition.

   The system responds with the following message:

   Press ENTER to confirm delete request or F12 to cancel delete request
   

5. Verify that the target definition displayed is the one to delete and press Enter.

   The system responds by displaying the Selection List screen.

6. Press F3 to display the Installation Tool window.
