- The proper way to get rid of TSO userids is through the TSO ACCOUNT command
- DELETE subcommand. I once had a large group of userids to delete, so
- I used ISPF 3.1 on SYS1.SYSUADS to delete them. Bad idea. After strange
- symptoms (messages not reaching valid userids, etc.) and an unscheduled
- IPL, we issued the SYNC (synchronize) command, and everything was OK
- from then on. SYNC compares the UADS and BRODCAST data sets, and cleans
- out messages for users who no longer exist. (We would have been OK if
- I had issued SYNC immediately after using ISPF 3.1 to delete userids.)
-
- So: for the userid no longer in use, go ahead and delete it with the
- TSO ACCOUNT command DELETE subcommand. This will not affect their
- data sets on disk, but will clean up BRODCAST for you.
-
- For the other userid, do an ACCOUNT command LIST subcommand to see how
- they are defined. Then delete it (which cleans up BRODCAST), and
- re-define it.
