1.5 Post-Installation Tasks for Upgrades

Note
Process Software recommends using the script /pmdf/bin/upgrade_all_dbs.sh which simplifies the post-installation tasks. However, if you wish, you can perform these steps individually.

The script /pmdf/bin/upgrade_all_dbs.sh replaces steps 1 and 2.

  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 Berkeley DB (formerly known as SleepyCat) environment files have changed since the previous release of PMDF. You must do the following. The old files must be removed from the /pmdf/table, /pmdf/table/queue_cache, and /pmdf/tmp directories. In each directory run: 


    # rm __db.0*

  3. Check the contents of the PMDF tailor file /etc/pmdf_tailor that was supplied by this installation. Merge in any changes that you made to the file, using the copy that you saved before you started the upgrade.
  4. If you are using the PMDF-LAN Lotus Notes channel, be sure to upgrade the PMDF images used on the Lotus Notes server. These are OS/2 or Windows PMDF images, available under the /pmdf/other/ directory on the PMDF system, or available directly off the PMDF distribution CD-ROM under the other directory. Note that this is an ISO 9660 with Rockridge extensions CD-ROM, readable from many different platforms including OS/2 and Windows. For a PMDF-LAN Lotus Notes channel, shut down the PMDF Lotus Notes Server Add-ins, using Lotus Notes server console commands such as TELL PNGATECIN QUIT, and TELL PNGATECOUT QUIT (or just TELL PNGATEC QUIT if you were using just the one Server Add-in). Then copy the new server Add-ins to the Lotus Notes server, and start them back up (e.g., LOADPNGATECIN and LOAD PNGATECOUT).
  5. Start up the PMDF Job Controller and PMDF Service Dispatcher using the command: 


    # pmdf startup

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