restrictions

Must have superuser privileges (UNIX) or be logged in as Administrator (NT) in order to use this utility.

PARAMETERS

None.

DESCRIPTION

The pmdf cache -synchronize utility updates the active queue cache database to reflect all non-held message files currently present in the PMDF queue subdirectories, /pmdf/queue/* on UNIX or C:\pmdf\queue\* on NT.

The pmdf cache -close command does not need to be issued in conjunction with the pmdf cache -synchronize command.

The queue cache database consists of the files contained in the directory pointed at by PMDF_QUEUE_CACHE_DATABASE option in the PMDF tailor file, /etc/pmdf_tailor, on UNIX, or the PMDF_QUEUE_CACHE_DATABASE PMDF Tailor registry entry on NT. Normally, the queue cache directory is called /pmdf/table/queue_cache on UNIX, and is usually C:\pmdf\table\queue_cache (possibly on a drive other than C:) on NT. On UNIX, this directory and the files it contains should be protected against world and group access (-rwx------) and have the same uid as the directories /pmdf/queue and /pmdf/log.

EXAMPLES

To synchronize the queue cache, for instance after renaming a message file, issue the UNIX command

# pmdf cache -synchronize

or the NT command

C:\> pmdf cache -synchronize
