- To delete a CICS® structure
for a coupling facility data table (CFDT) pool, stop all CFDT pool
servers for the structure. If there are no connectors to the structure,
use the STOP system command to stop the CFDT server. If there are
connectors, issue the MODIFY server,CANCEL system command
to disconnect active CICS connectors
(where server is the name of the CFDT pool server).
- When all servers are disconnected, if the existing data needs
to be saved, unload the structure contents to a sequential data set
by running the CFDT pool server program DFHCFMN with the FUNCTION=UNLOAD
option as described in the CICS System Definition Guide.
- Deletion of the structure may need to be forced. See Deleting structures with SETXCF FORCE for more information on forcing deletion of persistent
structures with the SETXCF FORCE,STRUCTURE,STRNAME=DFHCFLS_poolname system
command.
The saved structure contents can be reloaded later from the sequential
data set into a new structure by running the queue pool server program
DFHCFMN with the FUNCTION=RELOAD option.
