Deleting a Semaphore


This task describes how to delete a specified semaphore based on its numeric ID, which can be discovered through the task, Viewing Semaphore Information.

Before you begin

To delete a semaphore, you must own the segment or have an account with privileges to delete it. If you attempt to remove a segment that you do not own, PATROL issues a permission-denied error message.

To Delete Semaphores

  1. Access the MEMORY application menu as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.
  2. Select Remove Semaphores. BMC PATROL displays the Remove Semaphores dialog box.
