Managing CDS Directories
18.2.3 Entering the directory create Command
Use the directory create command with the -replica and -clearinghouse options to
create a replica of a directory and store it in the clearinghouse that you specify. For
example, the following command creates a replica of the /.:/mfg directory and stores the
replica in a clearinghouse that is named /.:/Paris1_CH:
dcecp> directory create /.:/mfg -replica -clearinghouse /.:/Paris1_CH
18.3 Deleting a Read-Only Replica
Sometimes you may need to delete a read-only replica when the information that it
contains is no longer needed by the local users of the clearinghouse in which the replica
is stored. You may also need to delete a read-only replica to prepare for deleting the
directory of which the replica is a member, or before permanently removing the
clearinghouse in which the replica is stored.
18.3.1 Permissions for Deleting a Replica
To delete a replica, you must have the following permissions:
• Administer permission to the directory whose replica you want to delete
• Write permission to the clearinghouse from which you are deleting the replica
18.3.2 Entering the directory delete Command
Use the directory delete command with the -replica and -clearinghouse options to
delete a replica from the clearinghouse that you specify. For example, the following
command deletes a replica of the /.:/eng directory from the /.:/Chicago2_CH
clearinghouse:
dcecp> directory delete /.:/eng -replica -clearinghouse /.:/Chicago2_CH
Note: You can delete a directory’s master replica only by deleting the directory
itself (by using the directory delete command). (See Chapter 21 for
complete information on how to delete a master replica.)
