The Remove Defer ID (RMVDFRID) command removes all deferred object information associated with the specified Defer ID (DFRID).

An object is deferred by a restore operation if a DFRID is specified and the object depends on other objects that are not yet available. Deferred objects can be logical files or SQL materialized query tables (MQTs). A deferred logical file is not created until the restore is complete. A deferred MQT is created, but until the restore is complete, any functions performed on the MQT that require access to the based-on files will fail. This command removes deferred object information, but it does not delete deferred MQT files.
