Destroy Function--Destroy a Connection Data Entry¶

In netutil non-interactive mode, you can use the destroy function to destroy a connection data entry. To obtain the network address, protocol, and listen address of the connection data entry you want to destroy, use the show command.

This function has the following format:

destroy type connection vnode network_address protocol listen_address

type

Specifies the type of entry. Valid values are:

global

Indicates that the object is available to all users on the local node.

private

Indicates that the object is available to a single user.

vnode

Identifies the virtual node name associated with this input line. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.

network_address

Identifies the address or name of the remote node. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.

protocol

Specifies the keyword for the protocol used to connect to the remote instance. For a list of protocols and their associated keywords, see Network Protocol Keywords. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.

listen_address

Is the unique identifier used by the remote Communications Server for interprocess communication. An asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard to select a range of records.

Examples: Destroy a Connection Data Entry

The following command destroys a private connection data entry on vnode “payroll”, where:

Network address = payroll Protocol = TCP/IP Listen address = fe2

D p c payroll payroll tcp_ip fe2 # No comm server on fe2

The following command destroys all global connection data entries for vnode “accounting” that include the TCP/IP protocol:

d gl c accounting * tcp_ip *
