DELETE RESOURCEMANAGER
Usage Guidelines
Entries for recoverable resource managers can be deleted from the resource manager
directory either by a gateway process that performs the deletion programmatically, or
by a user who enters the DELETE RESOURCEMANAGER command.
The resource manager you specify must not have any unresolved transaction
branches outstanding; that is, it must be in the closed state. If the resource manager is
in the open, recovering, or crashed state, the DELETE RESOURCEMANGER
command displays an error message. You can determine the current state of a
resource manager by entering the STATUS RESOURCEMANAGER command.
Examples
The following DELETE RESOURCEMANAGER command deletes a resource manager
named TUX-A1_UNIX@SUN from the resource manager directory:
TMF 10> DELETE RESOURCEMANAGER TUX-A1_UNIX@SUN
The next command removes a resource manager named TUX-A2_NT@MICROSOFT
from the directory:
TMF 11> DELETE RM TUX-A2_NT@MICROSOFT
Note. Resource managers, to which the DELETE RESOURCEMANAGER command applies,
support heterogeneous transaction processing. Resource managers are used in products
such as NonStop TUXEDO. Although TMFCOM and the TMFSERVE programmatic interface
provide TMF commands and options for operating on resource managers, system managers
who use them do so in the context of issues involving multiple software subsystems and inter-
platform considerations. Complete discussion of heterogeneous transaction processing and
the context in which resource-manager commands and options are used lies beyond the scope
of the TMF manual library.
For more information about heterogeneous transaction processing, see the Open Group
TRANSACTION PROCESSING Publications, available from X/Open Publications at the
following Web location:
http://www.opengroup.org/pubs/catalog/tp.htm
These publications can also be ordered through many bookstores.
Caution. Deleting a recoverable resource manager without first preventing gateway processes
from opening it can result in errors, either in the gateway process or in the execution of the
DELETE RESOURCEMANAGER command.
