3.2.3 - Terminate Version Control

Action Option -TV (-TerminateVersion) :

closes a version control record in GDEXDB for the specified dataset, marking it as history or removing it if still pending.

dsarch [-(DS|Dataset)] dNNNNNN [-](TV|TerminateVersion) [Mode Options]

-(VI|VersionIndex) VersionIndex

[-(LN|LoginName) LoginAccountName]

[-(DB|Debug) DebugModeInfo]

Available mode options:

-(MD|MyDataset)	allows any specialist to set GDEXDB information, regardless of dataset ownership
-(NT|NoTrim)	skips trimming of spaces and comments from input values, speeding up input file processing

Provide the version index via -VI and the dataset number via -DS. Termination is blocked if any Web files are still linked to that version. To resolve this, first list those files using -GW (-GetWebFile), then either reassign their version index (to 0 or another value) or convert them to Saved files; only then can the version be terminated.

EXAMPLE 5. To terminate version index 5 of d999009:

dsarch d999009 TV -VI 5

Active records are moved to ‘H’ (History) status and kept for future reference. Pending records are deleted from GDEXDB entirely.
