Arguments

-key service-key

Specifies the service key of the PFM - Agent or PFM - RM whose alarm table or alarm is to be deleted. A product name can also be specified when the product name display functionality is enabled. You can specify only the service key of PFM - Agent or PFM - RM here. For details about the service key of the PFM - Agent or PFM - RM, see the naming rules described in the appendix of the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

-table alarm-table-name

Specifies the name of the alarm table to be deleted or from which an alarm is to be deleted.

For alarm-table-name, specify a string of 1 to 64 bytes, consisting of double-byte characters, single-byte alphanumeric characters, single-byte spaces, and the following single-byte symbols:

% - ( ) _ . / @ [ ]

If the value contains a space, enclose the entire value in double quotation marks ("). If the value contains a defined symbol, specify an escape character if necessary.

Wildcard characters cannot be used.

-alarm alarm-name

Specifies the name of the alarm to be deleted.

For alarm- name, specify a string of 1 to 20 bytes long, consisting of double-byte characters, single-byte alphanumeric characters, single-byte spaces, and the following single-byte symbols:

% - ( ) _ . / @ [ ]

If the value contains a space, enclose the entire value in double quotation marks ("). If the value contains a defined symbol, specify an escape character if necessary.

Wildcard characters cannot be used.

-y

Specifies that the specified alarm table or alarm is to be deleted forcibly without confirmation.

When -y is specified, the command deletes forcibly the specified alarm table or alarm.

When this option is omitted, the command displays a confirmation message asking whether or not the alarm table or alarm is to be deleted.

-wait number-of-seconds

Specifies the maximum wait period (in seconds) applied when a command that cannot be executed with this command is running. When the setting to suspend execution of alarm commands (Alarm Command Wait Mode) is enabled in the startup information file (jpccomm.ini), if you want to specify a wait period (in seconds) separately from the wait period specified in the jpccomm.ini file, specify a value in the range from 1 to 3,600 for this option.

If you omit the option, this command runs with the wait period (in seconds) specified in the jpccomm.ini file.

For details on the commands that cannot be executed with this command, see Commands that cannot be executed with alarm commands. For details on the jpccomm.ini file and Alarm Command Wait Mode, see Startup information file (jpccomm.ini).
