The REJECT command

With the REJECT command, you can clean up the global zone, SMPPTS, and associated entries and data sets. REJECT is helpful if the SMPPTS is being used as a permanent database for all SYSMODs, including those that have been installed. You can also use it to purge old data from the global zone and SMPPTS.

To use the REJECT command, you must first determine which processing mode of the command you want to use. The mode you choose depends on the data you want to delete. (REJECT command processing modes are mutually exclusive. No two modes can be used together.) These are the modes of REJECT processing:

Mass mode: SMP/E rejects all SYSMODs that have been received but not installed. Generally, SMP/E rejects these SYSMODs only if they have been neither accepted nor applied. However, you can specify operands to prevent SMP/E from checking where the SYSMODs have been installed.
Select mode: SMP/E rejects specific SYSMODs that have been received but not installed. Generally, SMP/E rejects these SYSMODs only if they have been neither accepted nor applied. However, you can specify operands to prevent SMP/E from checking where the SYSMODs have been installed.
PURGE mode: SMP/E rejects all SYSMODs that have been accepted into the specified distribution zones. PURGE mode can be used when SYSMODs were not automatically deleted once they were accepted. This is the case if NOPURGE was coded in the OPTIONS entry used to process the distribution zone.
NOFMID mode: SMP/E rejects all SYSMODs applicable to functions that are not part of the system. NOFMID mode can be used to delete service for all functions that have been deleted from the global zone. NOFMID mode can also be used to delete FEATURE and PRODUCT entries for all functions that have been deleted from the global zone.

For each eligible SYSMOD, SMP/E deletes the following, regardless of the processing mode:

The SMPPTS MCS entry
The global zone SYSMOD entry
The associated FMID subentry in the GLOBALZONE entry, as appropriate (see Processing the SYSMODs, FEATUREs, PRODUCTs, and HOLDDATA for details)
The associated SMPTLIB data sets, if the SYSMOD was packaged in RELFILE format (see Processing the SYSMODs, FEATUREs, PRODUCTs, and HOLDDATA for details)

Eligible HOLDDATA entries are deleted only during Select mode and NOFMID mode processing, and only if the HOLDDATA operand is specified. During Mass mode and Purge mode processing, and when HOLDDATA is not specified for Select mode and NOFMID mode processing, all HOLDDATA entries are retained including internal SYSTEM HOLDDATA entries. (See Selecting the eligible SYSMODs, FEATUREs, PRODUCTs, and HOLDDATA for details.)
