/sys$common/syshlp/NCLHELP.HLB  —  Directory Module, DSA  Directives  DELETE
 Use this directive to delete a DSA. The DSA must be in state OFF when
 you delete it. For more information on a DSA's state, refer to STATUS
 attributes.

 Syntax:
 	DELETE DSA [TO MEMORY IMAGE | TO SNAPSHOT]

 The DSA writes its directory information to disk when you use
 the DELETE directive. This means that all DSA information is saved,
 with the exception of any Accessor entities. When you next create
 the DSA, it will reconfigure itself automatically by reading its
 database files.

 The DELETE DSA options are only available on Tru64 UNIX. On OpenVMS
 systems, the directive DELETE DSA always produces a snapshot file.

 DSAs on Tru64 UNIX systems use memory image files instead of the
 snapshot files, by default. The DSA can read memory image files
 much faster, especially for large databases.

 Snapshot files are only supported on Tru64 UNIX systems for a
 small number of management tasks. These are documented in HP
 Enterprise Directory  - Management. You are advised
 not to use the TO SNAPSHOT argument unless performing one of the
 tasks that specifically requires it.
