Disconnection to Delete the Structure

A connected user who disconnects from a structure in order to delete the structure specifies REASON=DELETESTR on IXLDISC. The system releases the connection to the structure.

Note: The connection disposition specified on the IXLCONN does not apply.

This disconnect reason is processed the same way as a normal disconnection, except when the disposition of the structure is KEEP. If the DELETESTR disconnect request results in no active or failed-persistent connections to the structure, the structure is deleted even if the structure has a disposition of KEEP.

The DELETESTR keyword is useful in many circumstances. For example, it is useful as part of the recovery actions for ensuring that the correct instance of an otherwise-persistent structure is deleted when there are no more connectors.

Note: If a connected user disconnects with REASON=DELETESTR on IXLDISC while still holding locks, XES treats the disconnect as if the user had specified REASON=FAILURE on IXLDISC.
