You can delete a structure dump associated with either an active coupling facility structure or a structure pending deallocation. Identify the structure dump by specifying the structure dump ID. A structure dump ID of zero designates the structure dump(s) associated with an active instance of the structure. This includes, for a structure being rebuilt, any dumps associated with the rebuild old structure, the rebuild new structure, or both. A non-zero structure dump ID designates the structure dump whose structure dump ID matches the specified value.

Requests to delete a structure dump for structures that are pending deallocation will not be processed unless a non-zero structure dump ID is specified.

If SVC Dump was in the process of capturing information into the structure dump at the time of the IXLFORCE request, the dump will not include any information pertaining to that structure. If SVC Dump was in the process of writing the captured information to the dump data set from the structure dump, the dump will be truncated for that structure.
