ECACCE...-DELETE(1p)

💅 ecaccess-association-delete — the manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, listen up — this is ecaccess-association-delete, a Perl script that lives in the user-contributed Perl docs section of your manual. It's giving one job, done well: it deletes an ECtrans Association. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ecaccess-association-delete -version|-help|-manual

ecaccess-association-delete [-debug] [-gateway name] association-name

two whole forms, pick your fighter 💜

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So basically, this command lets you delete an ECtrans Association. And like… when we say delete, we mean it, bestie. 😭

Once an Association is deleted it can not be retrieved. Not by you, not by me, not by anybody. It's gone gone.

And the plot twist? The History associated with that Association also gets removed from the ECaccess Gateway Database. both of them, together, at the same time 🫶 So yeah — think before you type, because there is no undo button and no take-backs. no cap. 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• association-name — the name of the Association you want to delete. That's the one. just type it in and let it happen ✨

---

💖 OPTIONS 💖

• -gateway name — the name of the ECaccess Gateway where the Association is installed. by default it's whatever Gateway you're currently connected to, which is lowkey convenient. If you wanna find out the name of your current Gateway, hit up the ecaccess-gateway-name command. And heads up: when you're using the commands at ECMWF, the default Gateway is always "boaccess.ecmwf.int". iconic. 👑
• -version — displays the version number and then dips. that's it, that's all 🌈
• -help — prints a brief help message and exits. the quick lil snack version 🍓
• -manual — prints the manual page and exits. the full meal, aka what you're reading rn 📖
• -retry count — the number of SSL connection retries per 5s to ECMWF. Okay so important detail bestie: this parameter only applies to the initial SSL connection initiated by the command to the ECMWF server. It does not apply to all the subsequent requests made afterward — it's mainly targeting errors that can happen from time to time during the SSL handshake. Default is no retry. 🙈
• -debug — displays the SOAP and SSL messages exchanged. the receipts!! 💅 perfect if you're nosy (affectionate) or debugging.
