 NAME

   delete clearinghouse - Deletes the specified clearinghouse from the
                          local server system

 SYNOPSIS

   cdscp delete clearinghouse clearinghouse-name

 ARGUMENT

   clearinghouse-name
             The full name of the clearinghouse.

 DESCRIPTION

   The delete clearinghouse command deletes a clearinghouse from the
   local server system.  CDS does not permit you to delete a cleared
   clearinghouse.  Before you can delete a cleared clearinghouse, you
   must recreate it using the create clearinghouse command.

   The delete clearinghouse command automatically deletes all read-only
   replicas  from a clearinghouse.  CDS does not permit you to delete a
   clearinghouse that contains a master replica.  See the DCE Directory
   Service module of the DCE Administration Guide for more information
   about handling master replicas when deleting a clearinghouse.

   Permissions Required

   You must have write and delete permission to the clearinghouse and
   administer permission to all directories that store replicas in the
   clearinghouse.  The server principal needs delete permission to the
   associated clearinghouse object entry and administer permission to
   all directories that store replicas in the clearinghouse.

 NOTES

   It is recommended that you delete all replicas except the root before
   issuing this command.

   This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and
   may not be provided in future releases of DCE.

 EXAMPLE

   The following command deletes a clearinghouse named /.:/sales/Orion_CH
   from the local server system:

        cdscp> delete clearinghouse /.:/sales/Orion_CH
