After performing a query plan analysis, use the Delete Files feature to delete individual export files that are no longer needed.

Depending on the export options selected, a number of files are created when emulation information is exported from a target system to a test system. The Delete Files feature reads the .mcf file and, depending on the export options chosen, removes the corresponding files:
  • .ddl
  • 130.col
  • .dem
  • .log
  • .opt
  • .pack
  • .qcd
  • .ras
  • .rpt
  • .sql
  • .undo
  • .mcf
If necessary, the deleted files can be restored from the Recycle Bin. The files are automatically restored to the appropriate directory.
  1. Click .
  2. Select the .mcf file to delete.
    Only .mcf files appear in the list. However, deleting the .mcf file deletes all associated files, with the exception of the .pack file. To delete the .pack file, go to the next step.

    XSP/UDF code files specified in response to the “Browse for XSP/UDF” File Open Dialog during the Export operation are also deleted.

  3. [Optional] To remove the .pack file during the delete operation, select Delete Pack File.
  4. Click Delete, then Yes to remove the files.
    During the Unpack and Delete File Operation, the user is prompted to confirm overwriting or deletion of the XSP/UDF code files. The XSP/UDF files are also displayed with the normal Teradata SET files, such as .mcf, .log, .ddl, and so on.
