Disassociating a User ID from the Retrieval of Symptom Records

Stop the recording of SYMPTOM records for this user ID. To do this from a user ID authorized for the class A or B version of the CP RECORDING command, enter:
```
recording symptom off qid userid
```
Or, the user ID being removed (must be authorized for the class C, E, or F version of the recording command), enter:
```
recording symptom off
```
If there are symptom records queued in host storage for this user ID and you want to save the data, log on the user ID to be deleted and enter:
```
retrieve symptom
```
This will place the symptom records in the proper file for later processing. Disconnect this user by entering:
```
#cp disconnect
```
Log back on the authorized user ID.
If the symptom records queued in host storage for this user ID are not wanted, they may be purged. To do this from a user ID authorized for the class A or B version of the CP RECORDING command, enter:
```
recording symptom purge qid userid
```
Or, the user ID being removed (must be authorized for the class C, E, or F version of the recording command), enter:
```
recording symptom purge
```
This will PURGE all the symptom records queued in host storage for this user ID.
Verify the record count is zero and recording is off for this user ID. To do this, enter:
```
query recording
```
Note: The deleted user ID remains in the warm start data and in the output of the QUERY RECORDING command until VM is restarted with the COLD option.
If the user ID is specified on the SYSTEM_USERIDS statement in the system configuration file, remove that user ID.
Note: The user ID OPERSYMP is the default if no user ID for SYMPTOM is specified in the system configuration file.
