1.5 Post-Installation Tasks for Upgrades

Note

Steps 1 and 2 below are automated by the \pmdf\bin\upgrade_all_dbs utility.

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

  1. If you are using a compiled configuration, you must recompile it after an upgrade of PMDF with the command:


    pmdf cnbuild
    

  2. The format of the PMDF database environments has changed as of PMDF V6.2 from the format used in PMDF V6.1. These database environments must be deleted via the commands:


    del c:\pmdf\table\__db.* 
    del c:\pmdf\tmp\__db.*
    

  3. The HTTP configuration file must be updated upon upgrading to PMDF V6.2. The HTTP configuration file is usually \pmdf\table\http.cnf on NT. This file can be updated by running the web configuration utility, or by editing the http.cnf file manually. The manual steps are as follows. Add the following three lines:


    [PATH=/images/] 
    GET=PMDF_HTTP_GET 
    HIDDEN=1 
    
    Find the following lines and replace them as follows:

  4. As of PMDF V6.2, the global pmdf filter file \pmdf\table\pmdf.filter requires the require command, the same way that the channel and user filter files always have. If you have a global filter file that contains any of the following commands, you must add a require statement to the top of your filter file, which lists the commands that the filter file uses.
  5. Start up the PMDF Job Controller and PMDF Service Dispatcher using the command:


    pmdf startup
    

  6. If you also installed PMDF-DIRSYNC, PMDF-LAN, or PMDF-XGS for the first time, then you should configure them now. Configuration instructions for PMDF-LAN may be found in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7.
