Issue/Introduction

Though the RMODBASE utility BLOAD loads banners into a Deliver database, the client wants to know if there is a way to list out the banners or edit and delete them.
In an accidental process, many banners were added to the database in question.

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : CA Deliver

Resolution

As the client had many extraneous banners, the following was suggested:

. For a library with a smaller number of banners, see if there is a Deliver CVDED133 banner library, which contains the banners as sent with the product.
. Also, see if there is a Deliver CVDED133 library, from an earlier release, which would not have the extraneous banners.

The following canned program will list the banner page members:

//XXXXXXXX JOB ...
//RMORPT EXEC PGM=RMORPT,PARM='DLVR_HLQ' <=== MODIFY DB NAME
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DLVR.CVDELOAD <=== MODIFY, IF USED
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
REPORT 08
/*
//

There are no methods for editing banners, other than finding that member in the CVDED133 library, and editing it there.
Note: If there are any changes made to any banners, you would need to run RMODBASE BLOAD.

There are two methods of deleting banners from a database:

. Using command "DISP B, at the Deliver Primary panel, will bring up a list of the
banners on the database.

. . You can use a "D" line command, to delete the banner.
. . Note: May require confirmation for actual delete.

. Run RMODBASE DELBAN:

//XXXXXXXX JOB ...
//RMODBASE EXEC PGM=RMODBASE,PARM='dlvr_hlq' <=== Modify DB name
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=DLVR.CVDELOAD <=== Modify, if used
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DELBAN BANNER_ID
/*
//

. . Each banner to be deleted requires its own DELBAN statement.

. . Note: The BANNER_ID cannot be wildcarded, as it needs to be defined for each banner.

. . The banner will be on the database, until it is deleted (using something from above).

. . A BLOAD will either replace a changed banner or add a new banner, and will never delete or omit any banners.
