HP Stage/iX Commands
282
The DELETE command will prompt you for confirmation to delete the staging area before it is deleted. You will
not be prompted if the ;NOCONFIRM option is specified.
It is acceptable to delete a staging area that another staging area was created from. Each staging area has all
the information to function from the committed Base. A staging area created from another staging area
incorporates all the information from the first staging area.
The DELETE command can be abbreviated DEL.
Syntax
DELETE [STAGE=]stage_name [;{ CONFIRM}]
{NOCONFIRM}
Parameters
[STAGE=]stage_name (required)
This parameter specifies the name of the staging area to be deleted.
Staging area names are case sensitive. “STAGE1” is not equivalent to “stage1” or “Stage1”.
[;{ CONFIRM}] (optional) {NOCONFIRM}
The ;CONFIRM or ;NOCONFIRM option specifies whether or not the DELETE command will prompt you for
confirmation. If you specify ;NOCONFIRM, then STAGEMAN will NOT prompt for confirmation. The default is
;CONFIRM.
Example
STAGEMAN> DEL OLD_STAGING_AREA;NOCONFIRM
