DELETE ALIASTYPE The DELETE ALIASTYPE command purges alias type names and their definitions
from the DNS database. This command may be used only in definition mode.
DELETE { [ ALIASTYPE ] alias type } [ at-part ] [ ! ]
{ ALIASTYPE * }
where at-part is:
AT { \ system | name manager }
ALIASTYPE
may be omitted if alias type is unique in the command name manager’s
database.
alias type
is the name of an alias type to be deleted.
ALIASTYPE *
means that all alias types in the command name manager’s database are to be
included for deletion.
{ \ system | name manager }
is a system or name manager where the command is to be executed. If omitted,
the current name manager is assumed.
!
If present, DNSCOM does not prompt for confirmation before deleting each name.
If omitted, DNSCOM prompts for confirmation. At each prompt, you have the
following options: retain the alias type, delete the alias type, delete all remaining
alias types specified by the delete expression, or abort the command.
Examples
DELETE PHONE-NUMBER AT \TESTSYS !
DELETE ALIASTYPE *
Considerations
If an alias type name is being deleted and any instances of the type exist on the
local system, DNSCOM issues a warning message, and the alias type is not
deleted.
Alias types may be deleted only in definition mode.
