Deleting objects

CICS® BAC allows you to delete any new objects that you create, but you cannot delete the object folders (Files, TDQueues, etc.) individually. Deleting an object removes all of the object settings so that they are no longer available for uploading to the mainframe host. If you have spent some time customizing these settings, make sure they are uploaded to the mainframe host before deleting them.

Note:
You can set your preferences so that objects are deleted automatically when you upload them. Alternately, you can set preferences so that CICS BAC prompts you whether or not to delete after uploading, instead of deleting them automatically. You can also delete all object folders under a specific region folder if you delete the region folder.

To delete an individual object:

  1. In the tree pane on the left side of the CICS BAC main window, select the folder containing the object to be deleted.
  2. Click the Delete icon on the toolbar or select File > Delete > object type . CICS BAC displays a warning and asks you to confirm the deletion.
  3. Click OK key to delete the object.
