PMDF Installation Guide
NT Edition
PMDF-INST-NT-6.0

The following is a list of tasks which must be completed following a new or upgrade installation of PMDF.

• If you are upgrading your PMDF and were using a compiled configuration, you must recompile it after an upgrade of PMDF with the command

  C:\> pmdf cnbuild
  

  
  
• If you are upgrading PMDF, it is a good idea to rebuild the PMDF queue cache database with the command

  # pmdf cache -rebuild
  

  after any upgrade of PMDF, including after minor interim releases.
  
• Create PMDF's site specific configuration files using the automatic configuration generation utility; see Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 . If you did not choose to configure PMDF-MTA during your PMDF-MTA installation, then to configure PMDF-MTA later you may issue the command

  C:\> /pmdf/bin/http_server -s              
  

  and then point your web browser (Netscape version 3.0 or later, or Microsoft Internet Explorer version 4.0 or later), with JavaScript enabled, at

  http://localhost:7633/ 
  

  Refer to Chapters 5 and 6 for information, step-by-step procedures, and an example configuration.
  
• Once you have generated an initial configuration, you should take whatever additional steps may be required to complete the configuration of PMDF. The automatic configuration generator produces a checklist which details any additional steps required to complete the configuration of PMDF. Make sure to look over this checklist file. Note that the pmdf edit utility may be convenient to use when editting PMDF files; it is a Notepad-like application, geared towards editting PMDF configuration files.
• If you did not do so before installing PMDF, ensure that the Scheduler is running automatically; see Section 1.2 .
• If you will not be rebooting your system, then you should manually start up the PMDF Dispatcher and Job Controller at this time . You may either do this from the Control Panel---go to the Services icon and find the Dispatcher and Job Controller and start them---or you may start up the PMDF Dispatcher and Job Controller at the command line using the command:

  C:\> pmdf startup
