.Deletes the specified clearinghouse from the local server system

Synopsis

cdscp delete clearinghouse clearinghouse-name

Argument

clearinghouse-name
The full name of the clearinghouse.

Description
The delete clearinghouse command deletes a clearinghouse from the local server system. CDS does not permit you to delete a cleared clearinghouse. Before you can delete a cleared clearinghouse, you must recreate it using the create clearinghouse command.

The delete clearinghouse command automatically deletes all read-only replicas from a clearinghouse. CDS does not permit you to delete a clearinghouse that contains a master replica. See the DCE Directory Service module of the OSF DCE Administration Guide - Core Components for more information about handling master replicas when deleting a clearinghouse.

Privileges Required
You must have w (write) and d (delete) permission to the clearinghouse and A (Admin) permission to all directories that store replicas in the clearinghouse. The server principal needs d (delete) permission to the associated clearinghouse object entry and A (Admin) permission to all directories that store replicas in the clearinghouse.

Notes
It is recommended that you delete all replicas except the root before issuing this command.

This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

Examples
The following command deletes a clearinghouse named /.:/sales/Orion_CH from the local server system:

cdscp> delete clearinghouse /.:/sales/Orion_CH
