1 DELETE 2 SERVICE Deletes one or more services. Format DELETE SERVICE serviceName [device-or-partitionName] 3 Parameters serviceName The name by which the service is known to the local area network. The service name can consists of alphanumeric characters and dollar signs ($). It can be up to and include 255 characters. Wildcards are permitted in this command. device-or-partitionName The device or partition name is the name of the OpenVMS disk device or partition as it is to be known to the local area network. The name of the device or partition that you enter must have been created previously. Explanations of device and partition names follow. o Device names Devices served to the local area network are OpenVMS disk devices; use OpenVMS device names when you specify an InfoServer device name. Note that the device name must either match exactly the name that the SHOW SERVICES command displays or must contain wildcards. (Wildcards are permitted in this command.) A disk specification must end with a colon. o Partition names Partitions are container files that are served to the network. As such, they have OpenVMS file names with a default file type of ".ESS$PARTITION". Partition names, including the device, directory, and file name, can be no more than 242 characters in length. The partition name can be used to further identify the specific service selected. Support for partitions is limited in this version, however. HP strongly recommends that you use LD devices to support partitioned hard drives. See the DCL command LD HELP for more information. 3 Qualifiers /CLASS /CLASS=className Specifies a subset of the complete LASTport Disk (LAD) name space. The purpose of class names is to subdivide name spaces so that clients see only those names that are meaningful to them. The use of class names also allows two services to have the same name and not conflict with one another. You can, for example, use different class names for different on-disk structures that several client systems use. You might use SERVICEA/CLASS=ODS-2 for some client systems and SERVICEA/CLASS=ISO_9660 for other client systems. The service has the same name, SERVICEA, but the class names are different. The class name you use depends upon the client systems that will connect to the service being created. The default class name is ODS_2. For example, OpenVMS systems use the ODS_2 name space when attempting to mount an InfoServer device. Note that OpenVMS clients can solicit only those services that are in the ODS_2 service class. Valid class names are the following: V2.0 Names understood by PCSA MS-DOS Clients Unformatted Virtual disk has no format MSDOS MSDOS virtual disks ODS_2 VMS virtual disks UNIX UNIX virtual disks ISO_9660 ISO 9660 CD format HIGH_SIERRA MS-DOS CD format APPLE Macintosh HFS format SUN Sun format /CONFIRM /CONFIRM (default) /NOCONFIRM Confirm the deletion of a service. If there are any connections, even though /NOCONFIRM has been entered, the system forces a confirmation. Controls whether a request is issued before each delete operation to confirm that the operation should be performed on that service. The following responses are valid: YES NO QUIT TRUE FALSE Ctrl/Z 1 0 ALL Return (key) Usage Notes: o You can use any combination of uppercase and lowercase letters for word responses. Word responses can be abbreviated to one or more letters (for example, T, TR, or TRU for TRUE); however, these abbreviations must be unique. o Affirmative answers are YES, TRUE, and 1. Negative answers include NO, FALSE, 0, and pressing Return. o Entering QUIT or pressing Ctrl/Z indicates that you want to stop processing the command at that point. o When you respond by entering ALL, the command continues to process, but no further prompts are displayed. /DISCONNECT /DISCONNECT /NODISCONNECT (default) Overrides the default prompting for confirmation if you attempt to delete a service that has sessions connected to it. If a service has connected sessions and the /DISCONNECT qualifier is not supplied, you are prompted to confirm service deletion. To delete services without being prompted at all, specify both the /NOCONFIRM and /DISCONNECT qualifiers. 3 Example $ InfoServer SHOW SERVICES Service Name [Service Class] Device or File -------------------- --------------- -------------- CURRENT_KIT [ODS-2] _MOVMAN$LDA2: CURRENT_KIT [ODS-2] _MOVMAN$LDA42: %INFOSRVR-I-FOUND, 2 services found. $ DELETE SERVICE CURRENT_KIT _MOVMAN$LDA42: Delete service CURRENT_KIT [ODS-2] for _MOVMAN$LDA42:? [N]:Y %INFOSRVR-I-DELSERV, service CURRENT_KIT [ODS-2] deleted for _MOVMAN$LDA42:. The first command displays 2 services. The second command deletes the CURRENT_KIT service on the _MOVMAN$LDA42: device. The system prompts you to confirm your deletion command. After you do so, the system displays a messages indicating that the service has been deleted.
