Deleting a Shared-Memory Segment


This task describes how to delete a specified shared-memory segment based on its numeric ID, which can be discovered through the task, Viewing Shared-Memory Segments.

Before you begin

To delete a shared-memory segment, 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, BMC PATROL issues a permission-denied error message.

To Delete Shared-memory Segments

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