General info
------------

     You will need to have a License PAK with a release date after the date of
  PMDFSHR.EXE or libpmdf.so to run PMDF.  Note that this may apply to other
  images as well.

     Patches may be obtained from the anonymous FTP account on
  ftp.pmdf.process.com.  Use FTP to connect to the host ftp.pmdf.process.com
  and login as the user anonymous.  Use your e-mail address as the login
  password.

     Move to the pmdf_66_patches subdirectory:

        ftp> cd pmdf_66_patches

     Patches will be located in platform-specific sub-trees, as follows:

        Platform        Subdirectory
        --------        ------------
        Linux           linux
        Solaris/SPARC   solaris-sparc
        Solaris/x86     solaris-x86
        Windows         windows

     When FTPing images, be sure to FTP them as binary.  Before retrieving
  such an image with the GET command, be sure to put your FTP into binary
  mode with a command such as TYPE IMAGE or TYPE BINARY.



Change history
--------------
26-AUG-2014

  To accomodate changes in the licensing for Linux, Solaris, and
  Windows systems, new versions of libpmdf.so and license_verify
  are provided.



Installation
------------
Solaris

        Before installing a new libpmdf.so, issue the following command:

                # pmdf shutdown

        Failure to issue the above command could result in the current
        processes not recognizing commands (i.e. restart and shutdown) with
        the new libpmdf.so in place.

        Download the libpmdf_license.tar-gz file. Use 'gunzip' to
        decompress the tar file, then use 'tar' to extract the files.

        To install the new shared library, place it into the /pmdf/lib/
        directory and then execute the following commands:

                # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so
                # chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so

        To install the new license_verify, place the license_verify image
        into the /pmdf/bin/ directory, and execute the following commands:

                # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/license_verify
                # chmod 755 /pmdf/bin/license_verify

        In some cases new versions of libpmdf.so may alter the format of
        compiled configurations. When this happens recompilation is also
        necessary:

                # pmdf cnbuild

        Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions
        of libpmdf.so may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch"
        errors.

        Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command:

                # pmdf startup

========================================================================
Linux, Windows

        Before installing a new libpmdf.so, issue the following command:

                # pmdf shutdown

        Failure to issue the above command could result in the current
        processes not recognizing commands (i.e. restart and shutdown) with
        the new libpmdf.so in place.

        Download the libpmdf-license-66-*.zip file. 'cd' to /pmdf and
        use 'unzip' to decompress the files. They'll automatically be
        restored to the lib and bin directories.

        On Linux, then execute the following commands:

                # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so
                # chmod 755 /pmdf/lib/libpmdf.so

                # chown pmdf:bin /pmdf/bin/license_verify
                # chmod 755 /pmdf/bin/license_verify

        In some cases new versions of libpmdf.so may alter the format of
        compiled configurations. When this happens recompilation is also
        necessary:

                # pmdf cnbuild

        Failure to recompile the configuration after installing new versions
        of libpmdf.so may lead to "compiled configuration version mismatch"
        errors.

        Next, be sure to start PMDF by issuing the following command:

                # pmdf startup
