/XCF Command

The /XCF command provides a mechanism to delete obsolete records in the XCF checkpoint data set.

The /XCF command uses XCF messaging to perform this function. If the command is is entered and XCF is turned off, a message is issued stating that CA Workload Automation SE is not using XCF.

Note: The record is not actually deleted. It is only flagged as being deleted. The LXCF,LIST=SMF command does not display records flagged as deleted. To physically delete the record, you must reformat the XCF checkpoint data set with program SASSXKPI. (See the N707 install job.)

This command has the following format:

►►─ /XCF ─ ,OPT= ─┬─ D ───┬─ ,SMF=xxxx ─ ,INST=xxxx ──────────────────────────►◄
                  └─ DEL ─┘
