Datasets are not physically removed
Hi DsPandits,
I was trying to remove the files created by using the datasets using the dataset management utility.But the mail control file is removed ,but the other files which are created along with it are not being removed.
We are running our parallel jobs in 4 nodes..So,for each node 3 files are being created other than the main control file..So,total 0f 12 (3*4) files are still existing..files are being created in the following location..
resource disk "/ascential/scratchdatasets/datasets" {pools ""}
resource scratchdisk "/ascential/scratchdatasets/scratch" {pools
can any one help me out...

Have you tried it at UNIX - "orchadmin rm {dataset.ds}"? It sounds like somehow just a unix "rm" was issued. Do you get any error messages from the dataset management program?

I haven't used the GUI to remove datasets, but I would be surprised if that doesn't do it correctly. If you remove a .ds dataset descriptor file and then re-create the dataset in a program then you will have extraneous files in the scratch area from the previous set that will never get removed.
If your dataset is called my.ds then the remove command from UNIX is orchadmin rm my.ds
If your dataset is called my.ds then the remove command from UNIX is orchadmin rm my.ds

Re: Datasets are not physically removed
Hi ,
Just set the APT_ORCHHOME,APT_CONFIG_FILE,LD_LIBRARY_PATH,DSHOME,PATH in a file and execute it.After that type ORCHADMIN check on the command prompt to see that osh works or not.Then type orchadmin rm <dataset name>.This will do ur job for deleting the dataset but as you said even the dataset management also does the samething from gui for example when you say delete dataset from dataset management it will execute the command orchadmin rm <datasetname.ds> in the background.So using either ways from gui or from command line you can delete the dataset.
