DELETE TMF
DELETE TMF
The DELETE TMF command purges the entire TMF configuration, including volume
and file recovery information for the database. Only tape media names are retained in
the TMF catalog.
This command, entered only when TMF is stopped, produces an empty configuration
that has no audit trails and has default values for other configuration information.
DELETE TMF is typically used to make major configuration changes.
Command Syntax
For information on the tokens present in the command and response buffers, see the

Caution. Contact the Global Customer Support Center (GCSC) or your service provider
before issuing this command.
Use extreme caution when entering the DELETE TMF command, because this command
removes TMF’s ability to recover database files. This command can leave the database in an
inconsistent or damaged state. If unresolved network transactions exist, the state of those
transactions on your home (local) node is deleted; it may not be possible to determine the
correct outcome for the transactions. This inability, in turn, prevents the proper recovery of
databases on other nodes.
