Deleting a User Name Server on z/OS

The functionality of this command is not the same as on distributed platforms, because your WebSphere MQ queues and queue manager are not deleted. You have to follow further steps to completely delete your User Name Server.

To delete a User Name Server:
  1. Stop the User Name Server, by stopping the started task.
  2. Submit the following delete job manually to delete WebSphere MQ definitions:
    Delete jobs Description
    BIP#MQ01 Delete WebSphere MQ queues and channels
  3. In your <INSTPATH>/bin directory, use the mqsideleteusernameserver command. This command deletes all directories and files in your component directory. The root directory is not deleted but will be empty. See mqsideleteusernameserver command for details of the syntax and parameters of this command.
  4. Delete all members from the component PDSE manually.
