PMDF Installation Guide
OpenVMS Edition
PMDF-INST-VMS-6.0

This section presents a step-by-step procedure for generating a basic PMDF Service Dispatcher configuration file using the PMDF CONFIGURE DISPATCHER utility. Refer to Chapter 10 for a sample configuration dialogue.

• Configuration of the PMDF Service Dispatcher should be done using the SYSTEM account to ensure that the necessary privileges are available to create the configuration file. If you are not logged in on SYSTEM, do so now.
  
• Begin the configuration procedure by invoking the PMDF Service Dispatcher configuration utility as follows:

  $ SET DEFAULT PMDF_TABLE:
  $ PMDF CONFIGURE DISPATCHER
  

  
  
• The configuration procedure will optionally print out detailed explanations of each prompt as it proceeds. Unless you are conversant with the procedure, enable the detailed output.
  
• Closely examine the example configuration presented in Chapter 10 : the example was run with detailed prompting enabled, and will prepare you for the answers you need to provide for your own site.
  
• Once you've completed running the PMDF CONFIGURE DISPATCHER utility, type out or print the PMDF_TABLE:dispatcher.checklist file and complete the configuration by following the steps outlined in the checklist.
  
• If this is the first time that the Dispatcher has been configured, the utility will ask if you would also like to configure PMDF POP and IMAP mailbox servers.
