Deleting baselines automatically

When you specify a value for one of these keywords, you can delete all of the baselines that are outside a specified range of dates or a range of numbers.

To automatically delete a baseline

1. On the BMC AMI Change Manager for Db2 Main Menu, select Baselines, and press Enter.
2. On the Baseline Action Menu, type the name of a Baseline and select Create a Baseline from a Baseline Profile. Then, press Enter.
3. On the Baseline Interface panel, specify the Baseline Profile name that you want to use and the Run Type. Then, press Enter.
4. On the Baseline JCL Processing Interface panel, to delete baselines without first creating a baseline, type Y for NoBaseline.
