Applies To: System Center 2012 Configuration Manager, System Center 2012 Configuration Manager SP1, System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager

In System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager, you delete status messages by calling the SMS_StatusMessage class DeleteByID method and supplying an array of status message RecordID identifiers. Alternatively, you can call the SMS_StatusMessage class DeleteByQuery method and supply a WQL query that identifies the status messages to be deleted.

To delete a status message

Set up a connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
Call the SMS_StatusMessage class DeleteByID method with an array of record identifiers for the status messages to be deleted.

Example

The following example deletes a single status message identified by the recordId identifier.

For information about calling the sample code, see Calling Configuration Manager Code Snippets.

Sub DeleteStatusMessage(connection, recordId)

    Dim inParams
    Dim outParams
    Dim statusMessageClass

    On Error Resume Next

    ' Obtain the class definition object of a SMS_StatusMessage object.
    Set statusMessageClass = connection.Get("SMS_StatusMessage")

    If Err.Number<>0 Then
        Wscript.Echo "Couldn't get status message class"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Set up the in parameter.
    Set inParams = statusMessageClass.Methods_("DeleteByID").InParameters.SpawnInstance_
    inParams.RecordIDs = Array(recordId)
    If Err.Number<>0 Then
        Wscript.Echo "Couldn't get in parameters object"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    ' Call the method.
    Set outParams = _
        connection.ExecMethod( "SMS_StatusMessage", "DeleteByID", inParams)
    If Err.Number<>0 Then
        Wscript.Echo "Couldn't run method"
        Exit Sub
    End If

    WScript.Echo CStr(outParams.ReturnValue) + " record(s) deleted"

  End Sub

public void DeleteStatusMessage(WqlConnectionManager connection, Int64 recordId)
{
    try
    {
        Dictionary<string, object> StatusMessageParameters = new Dictionary<string, object>();

         // Add the parameters.
        StatusMessageParameters.Add("RecordIDs", new Int64[] { recordId });

        // Call the method.
        IResultObject result = connection.ExecuteMethod("SMS_StatusMessage", "DeleteByID", StatusMessageParameters);

        Console.WriteLine (result["ReturnValue"].IntegerValue + " record(s) deleted");

   }
    catch (SmsException ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed to delete error message: ", ex.Message);
        throw;
    }
}

The example method has the following parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
Connection	Managed: WqlConnectionManager VBScript: SWbemServices	A valid connection to the SMS Provider. For more information, see About the SMS Provider in Configuration Manager.
recordId	Managed: Integer VBScript: Integer	The status message identifier. This is SMS_StatusMessage object RecordID property for the status message to be deleted.
