DELARC
The DELARC command is used to delete an expired archived data set and its catalog entry - without having to recall it first.
Use DELARC instead of an IDCAMS DELETE to delete an archived data set without causing an automatic recall. The deleted data set will be visible in the UI until a periodic synchronization, which by default, is performed automatically every 5 minutes. If needed, on-demand synchronization can be performed via the UI, by clicking the “SYNC WITH STORAGE” button in the “Agents” tab. See the Administration and User Guide for more information.
The command supports additional keywords to allow deletion of an archived data set that has not yet expired or a data set that does not have a valid expiration date. To determine whether a data set has expired, the command follows the logic described in Determining a data set expiration date.
Warning
The DELARC action cannot be undone.
