ftdels

Note on usage

Function: Deleting an openFT-Script request

User group: FT user and FT administrator

Functional description

The specified, completed openFT-Script request is deleted from the user's directory or all completed openFT-Script requests are deleted from the user's directory.

No more information is subsequently available for deleted requests. A ftshws or ftshwact command with the ftscriptid of a deleted request is rejected since it no longer exists.

Before an openFT-Script request can be deleted, it must have been completed, i.e. ftshws must indicate the status T, F or C.

Since ftcans is not a synchronous command, it may be necessary to wait for the status C (cancelled) to arise before a subsequent ftdels.

If no ftdels is issued for an openFT-Script request then this is automatically deleted when the retention period expires.

Format

ftdels

-h | [ -u=<user ID> ] <ftscriptid> | @a

Description

-h

Outputs the command syntax on screen. Any specifications after -h are ignored.

-u=user ID

User ID under which the search for the openFT-Script request that is to be deleted is performed.

Only FT administrators may input a user ID.

The default value is the calling party's user ID.

ftscriptid

Identification of the openFT-Script request. This is output when the openFT-Script request is started via an ftscript command.

You can use the wildcard symbols ? and * in der ftscriptid. This deletes all openFT-Script requests that match the wildcard pattern.

?

is interpreted as any single character.

*

is interpreted as any number of characters.

If you use wildcards, enclose the ftscriptid specification in single quotes so that the wildcard symbols are not interpreted by the shell.

@a means that all the user's openFT-Script completed requests are to be deleted.
