As shown on the display, option 4 can be used to remove an entry from the relational database directory on the local server. If you remove an entry, you receive another display that allows you to confirm the remove request for the specified entry or select a different relational database directory entry. If you use the Remove Relational Database Directory Entry (RMVRDBDIRE) command, you have the option of specifying a specific relational database name, generic names, all directory entries, or just the remote entries.

You have the option on the Work with Relational Database Directory Entries display to display the details of an entry. Output from the Work with Relational Database Entries display is to a display. However, if you use the Display Relational Database Directory Entry (DSPRDBDIRE) command, you can send the output to a printer or an output file. The relational database directory is not an iSeries™ object, so using an output file provides a means of backup for the relational database directory. For more information about using the (DSPRDBDIRE) command with an output file for backing up the relational database directory, see Save and restore relational database directories.

You have the option on the Work with RDB Directory Entries display to change an entry in the relational database directory. You can also use the Change Relational Database Directory Entry (CHGRDBDIRE) command to make changes to an entry in the directory. You can change any of the optional command parameters and the remote location name of the server. You cannot change a relational database name for a directory entry. To change the name of a relational database in the directory, remove the entry for the relational database and add an entry for the new database name.

Note: If the remote location was changed in the relational database directory entry, then the remote journal has to be removed using the Remove Remote Journal (RMVRMTJRN) command or the QjoRemoveRemoteJournal API and readded using the Add Remote Journal (ADDRMTJRN) command or the QjoAddRemoteJournal API. If the remote location type, or authentication, or something else was changed, then remote journaling just needs to be ended using the Change Remote Journal (CHGRMTJRN) command or the QjoChangeJournalState API and restarted by also using the Change Remote Journal (CHGRMTJRN) command or the QjoChangeJournalState API. To get your change used for distributed files, you need to delete and re-create your node group, and then re-create the file.
