NAME

delete clearinghouse - Deletes the specified clearinghouse from the local server system

SYNOPSIS

cdscp delete clearinghouse clearinghouse-name

ARGUMENTS

clearinghouse-name
The full name of the clearinghouse.

DESCRIPTION

The delete clearinghouse command deletes a clearinghouse from the local server system.  The Cell Directory Service (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 OSF DCE Administration Guide for more information about handling master replicas when deleting a clearinghouse. 

Permissions 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 DCE Version 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
