Command Reference › DELENTRY Command › Description

Description

The DELENTRY command lets you delete the directory entry for a USER, IDENTITY, SUBCONFIG, or PROFILE regardless of whether it is active or on hold. When it deletes the directory entry for a user ID, it also deletes the:

• User ID minidisks using the DELMDISK command
• User ID from all file pools in which it was enrolled
• User ID from the VMSECURE MANAGERS file

(CA VM:Secure only) If your site uses the Rules Facility, deletes the USRRULES file for the user ID and any references to the user ID in any other rules file

Note: When you use the DELENTRY command and delete a minidisk that is on a pack that is under CA VM:Secure control, CA VM:Secure also deletes all links to that deleted minidisk from the directory.

You can delete an active user's directory entry only under the following conditions:

• User ID is not currently logged on
• None of the user ID minidisks is linked
• No directory profile specifies a link to any of its minidisks
• All file pools in which the user is enrolled are active

You can delete a directory profile only if no directory entry refers to it with an INCLUDE statement. Use the QUERY PRFUSERS command to list all users of a directory profile.

When you delete a SUBCONFIG directory entry, the associated BUILD statement in the related IDENTITY directory entry is removed.

When you delete an IDENTITY directory entry, any related SUBCONFIG directory entry is also deleted.

Example

To delete user ID NICKT, which is on hold, format NICKT’s deleted minidisks, and send messages generated by the deletion to the default CMS file (DELENTRY RESULTS A), enter:

vmsecure delentry nickt (hold format file
