6. Press F3 to file the modified definition. A message confirms that the rule has been
modified.
7. Update the comments to reflect the changes to the rule, as described in
“Maintaining Comments,” later in this section. You may also want to update the
comments on the ruleset itself.
Deleting Rules When a rule becomes obsolete, you can delete it. This removes the rule from the RMS
database and makes it unavailable to any message handler that is already using the
ruleset containing that rule.
Note If you want to leave a message action rule or a time-based rule in the ruleset but do not want it to be
triggered, you can change the status of the rule to inactive in the Status field on the rule definition panel
for the rule.
Delete rules as follows:
1. At any => prompt, type =R.6 and press ENTER to access Rule Maintenance. The
RMS : Rule Maintenance panel appears.
a. Specify the name of the ruleset that contains the rule to delete in the Ruleset
field. If you wish to be prompted by a selection list panel, ensure that the field
is blank. (You can specify ALL in the Ruleset field if you want to access all the
rules of a selected type in RMS.)
b. Select the appropriate option to access the rules (for example, option 1 for
message action rules). If a selection list panel appears, select the appropriate
ruleset by typing an S next to the name of the ruleset and pressing ENTER.
The selected rules maintenance panel appears (for example, RMS : Message
Action Rules Maintenance panel). If you specified ALL in the Ruleset field in
Step 1a, proceed to Step 3.
2. At the Selection Key field, you can request a list of some or all of the rules of the
selected type (message action rules, message group rules, or time-based rules) in
the ruleset as follows:
If you want a particular rule, specify the name of the rule.
If you want a partial list, specify a partial text string (that is, the first few
characters of the name of a rule or rules). RMS lists the rules in the ruleset that
have names starting with the partial text string in alphabetic order.
If you want a full list, leave the field blank. RMS lists all the rules in the
ruleset.
Select option 2 to access Display/Modify/Delete/Add With Model.
