Description

profileOwner.profileName

This variable defines the name of the baseline profile used to create the baseline that you want to delete. You can use catalog baseline profiles.

generationNumber

This variable specifies the baseline generation associated with the baseline profile that you want to delete. The named baseline profile is not deleted.

Valid values are from 0 (the latest baseline created) through -10 (the earliest baseline created). Zero (0) is the latest baseline created and -10 is the oldest baseline created using the baseline profile.

REPORTONLY

This option generates a report of all baselines created by using the baseline profile. No baselines are deleted when this option is included. However, the report does indicate which baseline was identified for deletion. For more information, see Sample report.

Examples

The following examples illustrate the use of the DELETE command:

Examples

The following syntax deletes the latest baseline created with the baseline profile:

DELETE BLPROFILE(MVSAMA.BLTEST1(0))

The following syntax deletes the earliest baseline created with the baseline profile:

DELETE BLPROFILE(MVSAMA.BLTEST2(-10))

The following syntax produces a DELETE BASELINE REPORT for the baseline profile specified:

DELETE BLPROFILE(MVSSMP.BSID0009(-4)) REPORTONLY
