Choose the Unreserve... menu item to cancel one or more reservations of a generation of an element. You cannot unreserve a generation held by another user unless you hold BYPASS privilege or unless you are granted BYPASS access to the element by an access control list (ACL). If you have more than one reservation of an element or if you are canceling another user's reservation, you must specify the exact reservation to be canceled. You do this by using either the Generation option or the Reservation Identification button in the Options dialog box (choose the Options button).
1 – Ur sf
If you click on an object or objects before choosing the Unreserve... menu item, the Selected box contains those objects. CMS performs the unreserve transaction on the selected objects.
2 – Ur ef
Fill in the Element field with the name of the object or objects whose reservations are to be canceled. The object can be an element name, a group name, a wildcard expression, or a list of these separated by commas.
3 – Ur rf
Fill in the Remark field with text to be associated with the cancellation and logged in the history file with this unreserve transaction.
4 – Ur opb
The Options button brings up a dialog box, allowing
you to specify the following options in the library:
o A generation number for the reserved generation
to be canceled
o A reservation identification number for the
reserved generation to be canceled
o Whether CMS should delete the file from your
default directory after the cancellation, and
optionally, a file name and location other
than your default directory.
4.1 – Ur ogf
Fill in the Generation field with the specific generation number of the reservation to be canceled; for example, 3B2. If you have more than one reservation of the same element generation, you must choose the Reservation Identification option to unreserve the reservation.
4.2 – Ur rio
Use the Reservation Identification option when you have
multiple reservations of the same element generation.
If you have more than one concurrent reservation for the
same generation, you must identify the specific
reservation to be unreserved. If multiple users have
reserved the same generation of an element and you have
BYPASS privilege or have been granted BYPASS access to
the element by an access control list entry, you must
identify the specific reservation to be unreserved.
Each reservation is assigned an identification number.
Fill in the Reservation Identification field with the
number of the specific reservation to be canceled; for
example, 2.
To determine the identification number of each
reservation, do the following:
1. Pull down the View menu.
2. Choose the Reservation menu item.
3. Double click on the reserved element to
expand it into individual reserved generations.
The identification number appears in parentheses at the
beginning of each line that lists a reserved generation.
4.3 – Ur dfu
Click on the Delete files when unreserved button to delete all versions of the unreserved file from your default directory. If you choose this option, you can also use the Delete file specification field to specify a different location or a different file specification (or both) for the file to be deleted.
4.4 – Ur dfs
Fill in the Delete file specification field with a different location and/or name of the file to be deleted.
