DELETE TREE FORCE

The DELETE TREE FORCE control statement deletes the node identified by a previous SELECT TREE=/ path / control statement, including all values defined at that node, and all subnodes and values defined within it.

The entire registry subtree identified by SELECT TREE is deleted.

Note

Typically, deleting an entire subtree in a registry is performed only as part of a repair and recovery operation at the request of BMC Customer Support. DELETE TREE FORCE might also be used to erase the entire contents of an RTCS registry in preparation for a RESTORE operation.

The following figure illustrates the JCL for RMU DELETE TREE FORCE processing.
