Removing a Point Code and CIC Translation Entry

This procedure is used to remove a PCT (point code and CIC translation) entry from the database, using the dlt-pct command.

The dlt-pct command uses these parameters.

:epc/epca/epci/epcn – The emulated point code of the PCT entry shown in the EPCA, EPCI or EPCN columns.

:realpc/realpca/realpci/realpcn – The real point code of the PCT entry shown in the REALPCA, REALPCI or REALPCN columns.

:filtpc/filtpca/filtpci/filtpcn – The filter point code of the PCT entry shown in the FILTPCA, FILTPCI or FILTPCN columns.

:si – The service indicator value of the PCT entry shown in the SI column.

:ssn – The subsystem number value of the PCT entry shown in the SSN column.

:ecics – The emulated CIC start value of the PCT entry shown in the ECICS field.

:ecice – The emulated CIC end value of the PCT entry shown in the ECICE field.

:rcics – The real CIC start value of the PCT entry shown in the RCICS field.

:rcice – The real CIC end value of the PCT entry shown in the RCICE field.

The PCT entry that is being removed must exist in the database. The values for the parameters of the PCT entry must be entered as shown in the rtrv-pct output. If dashes are shown in a field or column, the field or column has no value and the parameter that corresponds to that field or column cannot be specified with the dlt-pct command.

Display the PCT entries by entering the rtrv-pct command.

This is an example of the possible output.

 Unique EPC    is 3 of 250
 Unique RealPC is 3 of 250

PCT table is (3 of 1000) 1% full.

If no entries are shown in the rtrv-pct output, this procedure cannot be performed.

If entries are shown in the rtrv-pct output, continue the procedure with 2.

Remove the PCT entry from the database using the dlt-pct command with the values shown in the columns and fields of the PCT entry, shown in 1, that is being removed. For this example, enter this command.
dlt-pct:epca=001-001-001:realpca=002-002-002:filtpca=*:si=5:ecics=10 :ecice=20:rcics=30:rcice=40

When the dlt-pct command has successfully completed, this message should appear.
```

DLT-PCT: MASP A - COMPLTD
```
Verify the changes using the rtrv-pct command with the parameters and values specified in 2. For this example, enter this command.
rtrv-pct:epca=001-001-001:realpca=002-002-002:filtpca=*:si=5:ecics=10 :ecice=20:rcics=30:rcice=40

This message should appear.
```
E5401 Cmd Rej: Single translation entry not found
```

Back up the new changes, using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command. These messages should appear; the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.

BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
