Deleting data sharing members

You can permanently remove a member from a data sharing group by deleting the member. Delete a member only if you are sure that you will not need the member or its BSDS and log data sets again because a deleted member cannot be restarted.

About this task

Deleting data sharing members is a two-step process that requires deactivating the member and then destroying the member.

If a data sharing member cannot be deleted with the usual process because of missing BSDS data sets, see Deleting data sharing members with missing BSDS data sets.
