To issue the DELETE TRANSFER statement, the transfer definition you delete must be associated with your UIC or you must have the DROP transfer privilege or the OpenVMS BYPASS privilege. You must execute the DELETE TRANSFER statement outside of the scope of a transaction. If you issue this statement when a transaction is outstanding, Replication Option returns an error message. You can delete a transfer only if the transfer is in the suspended state. Refer to the STOP TRANSFER statement for information about how to suspend a transfer. When you delete a transfer definition, the associated target database does not change in any way.
