Deleting groups from the IBM InfoSphere Information Server user registry

Use this command to delete groups from the IBM® InfoSphere® Information Server user registry. This command deletes all the groups in the InfoSphere Information Server user registry. If you are using an external registry, such as LDAP, this command deletes only the proxies of the groups that were created in the internal repository and their role assignments.

The application server does not need to be running to run this command. This command should only be used for troubleshooting or recovery.

You can use this command when changing the user registry configuration after the system has been in production. This command removes all security settings for all groups which allows for a safe switch to a different registry.

Attention: This command deletes all the groups in the InfoSphere Information Server user registry. From the IBM InfoSphere Information Server Web console, you can delete groups selectively.
Use this command only for troubleshooting.
