PURGEGROUP
If you specify volume-related commands or parameters for a volume set that is not
currently mounted, or for an account that does not exist, MPE/iX returns an error
message.
CAUTION Do not attempt to purge the PUB group of the SYS account. The public group
of the system account, PUB.SYS, cannot be completely purged. If you specify
this group in the groupname parameter, all non-system and inactive files are
purged, which seriously impairs the proper functioning of the entire system.
Use
This command may be issued from a session, a job, a program, or in BREAK. Pressing
Break has no effect on this command.
Account manager (AM) or system manager (SM) capability is required to execute this
command. Account manager (AM) capability, however, may lack the appropriate privilege
to purge all files and directories below an MPE group. If you lack sufficient access to purge
all directories and files, an error occurs and the MPE group is not purged.
Examples
To purge a group named GROUP1, enter:
PURGEGROUP GROUP1
GROUP GROUP1 TO BE PURGED? YES
:
To purge the group LEELA in the volume set MY_VOL, you need to issue two commands:
PURGEGROUP LEELA
GROUP LEELA TO BE PURGED? YES
:
PURGEGROUP LEELA;ONVS=MY_VOL
GROUP LEELA TO BE PURGED? YES
:
The first command informs the system volume set of the purge; the second informs the
mountable volume set.
