Use the CMAN transaction to delete one or more service flows from the service flow
repository file DFHMAASF.
About this task
You can delete only the service flows that are in a disabled state.
Procedure
You can delete a service flow using either of the following methods:
- To delete a particular service flow, enter CMAN DELETE
FLOW(request-name) on your display, where
request-name is the name of the service flow.
The transaction
runs the DFHMAINS program to delete the service flow from the service flow repository
file.
- To delete more than one service flow, enter CMAN on your
display.
The transaction displays the flow management main menu where you can perform
actions on service flows.
- Enter option 4 next to each disabled service flow that you want
to delete.
- Press Enter.
The DFHMAINS program checks that each service flow is disabled
and then deletes it from the service flow repository file. A message on the console confirms that
the deletion was successful.
- Press Enter to refresh the view.
Results
The DHFMAINS program does not delete subflows that are associated with a service flow when
it is deleted from the repository file. The resource definitions, programs, and service flow
properties file are also not deleted.
What to do next
To remove a service flow from the CICS region completely, you must delete all of the CICS resources for the service flow from the CSD and remove the service flow properties file from the service flow deployment directory in zFS.
