Hi,

When I remove all the datasets I use in my projects, I do this :
rm *.ds
and rm on all datasets files (for exemple .ds.dwh.dwh001.0000.0000.0000.14374.ca000f42.0000.7a732e23)

what is the difference between this methods and the use of Orchadmin ?

this method must be ban , yes or no ?

thanks,
bart.

The Orchadmin rm method looks into the .ds file you are deleting and removes the segment files actually used. No chance of missing files or deleting too many.

No difference, if you do your work of deletion perfectly.

No. But not highly preferred by anyone to be a method of deleting DataSets, because an option in utility orchadmin does the same thing. [Your work will increase if the number of nodes seems high]

Is there any temporary files involve in the Orchadmin suppression ?

because the following error appeared
( In file set "/tmp/import_tmp_4927490dbc859cf.fs": Parsing a dataset, expecting a fileset.) when I didn't used the Orchadmin deletion.

thanks,
bart
