2. Ensure that the INITIAL-DIRECTORY settings for all users have been removed.

(For instructions, see the Safeguard Reference Manual.)

If not all users’ INITIAL-DIRECTORY settings have been removed, and you tell

OSSREMOV to remove the security manager ($ZSMP), then you must do the

following after you run OSSREMOV:

a. Restart $ZSMP manually.

b. Remove all users’ INITIAL-DIRECTORY settings.

3. Remove any OSS files that contain SQL/MP code (and the corresponding SQL/MP

catalog entry).

4. Entering this command at a TACL prompt:

[RUN] OSSREMOV

5. OSSREMOV displays its start-up message, a warning message, and a prompt

similar to this:
