NAME

delete-instance – deletes the instance that is not running

SYNOPSIS

delete-instance instance_name ––user admin_user [––passwordfile filename] [––host localhost] [––port 4849] [––secure|–s] [––terse=false] [––echo=false] [––interactive=true] [––help]

DESCRIPTION

Use the delete-instance command to delete a server instance. The delete-instance command can be run both locally and remotely. If a standalone instance is deleted (i.e. the instance's configuration name is server–name–config and no other clusters or unclustered instances refer to this configuration), its standalone configuration will be automatically deleted as well.

The Node Agent need not be running (or even installed or created) to delete a server instance. However, if the Node Agent is running, the command will delete the instance. If the Node Agent is not running, it will delete the instance the next time it is started. If a standalone instance is deleted, that is, the instance's configuration name is server—name-config and no other clusters or unclustered instances refer to this configuration, then its standalone configuration will be automatically deleted as well.

OPTIONS

–u ––user

The authorized domain administration server administrative username.

–w ––password

The ––password option is deprecated. Use ––passwordfile instead.

––passwordfile

This option replaces the –– password option. Using the ––password option on the command line or through the environment is deprecated. The ––passwordfile option specifies the name of a file containing the password entries in a specified format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name in capital letters. For example, to specify the domain administration server password, use an entry with the following format: AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password, where password is the actual administrator password. Other passwords that can be specified include AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_MQPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD, and so on.

–H ––host

The machine name where the domain administration server is running. The default value is localhost.

–p ––port

The port number of the domain administration server listening for administration requests. The default port number for Enterprise Edition is 4849.

–s ––secure

If set to true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain administration server.

–t ––terse

Indicates that any output data must be very concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-formatted data for consumption by a script. Default is false.

–e ––echo

Setting to true will echo the command line statement on the standard output. Default is false.

–I ––interactive

If set to true (default), only the required password options are prompted.

––help

Displays the help text for the command.

OPERANDS

instance_name

name of the instance to be deleted.
