delete datasets

[reachmexyz]

Hello all

I wish to delete datasets located on UNIX by using orchadmin command.
What all i need to set up in my profile to gain privilege to that command.
I know i should export PATH and APT_CONFIG_FILE to my profile. Where can i get this information?

You should have permissions on dataset you are going to delete and permissions to execute the orchadmin command .Before running the command set APT_ORCHHOME and APT_CONFIG_FILE

When you say set the variables, do i need to export it to my .profile on unix?

Yeah you can include those in .profile so that there is no need of explicily mentioning it before running the orchadmin.
Also make a note that APT_CONFIG_FILE may varies

I have included both paths in my .profile and at the root prompt i have typed orchadmin and the output is orchadmin not found.
Do i need to execute this command from a specific directory path?

I believe you'll need to have also run dsenv from $DSHOME

[nagarjuna]

export APT_ORCHHOME="PATH"

export APT_CONFIG_FILE="PATH"

execute dsenv file

cd $APT_ORCHHOME/bin

orchadmin

Still not working. Do i need to export PATH as well. I remember once i saw a .profile like

PATH=$PATH:XXXXX

Where can i get that information

[reachmexyz]

export APT_ORCHHOME="PATH"

export APT_CONFIG_FILE="PATH"

execute dsenv file

cd $APT_ORCHHOME/bin

orchadmin

Hoe can i execute the dsenv file?

[nagarjuna]

export DSHOME=/opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine

. $DSHOME/dsenv

if don't want to get into different shells how they export the variables:
. /opt/IBM/InformationServer/Server/DSEngine/dsenv

Just another alternative.
