DELETE CATALOG
DELETE CATALOG
The DELETE CATALOG command clears from the TMF catalog all online dump, audit 
dump, and media entries and resets to 64 the counter used for assigning dump serial 
numbers. 
Command Syntax
For information on the tokens present in the command and response buffers, see the 
SPI Programming Manual. 
Usage Guidelines
Only super-group users or the owner of the configuration files can issue this command. 
TMF must be started.
Because the DELETE CATALOG command clears all dump and tape-volume entries 
from the catalog, you cannot use online and audit dumps made before this command 
was issued.
After issuing this command, be sure to make new online dumps to support future 
restore operations.
Caution. Use extreme caution when issuing the DELETE CATALOG command, because this 
command removes TMF’s ability to recover your database from previously dumped files.
