1.5 Post-Installation Tasks for Upgrades
  1. Run the utility c:\pmdf\bin\upgrade_all_dbs to convert databases to the V6.5 format, and perform other post-installation tasks. This utility performs the following actions (which can also be performed by hand if desired):
    1. If you are using a compiled configuration, it is recompiled with the command: 


      pmdf cnbuild

    2. The popstore/MessageStore user database is rebuilt with the command: 


      pmdf msgstore x-build-user-db

    3. All other databases in the c:\pmdf tree are found and converted to V6.5 format using the command: 


      pmdf convertdb <old-database> <new-database>
      Note that the defragment database c:\pmdf\table\defragment_cache.* is excluded from this process. It does not need to be converted as the defragment channel will rebuild the database from the messages in the c:\pmdf\queue\defragment directory the first time it runs.

    4. The Berkeley DB (SleepyCat) environment files are no longer used, so they are deleted, using the commands: 


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

  2. Rebuild or convert all remaining databases.
    All databases must be rebuilt or converted in order for PMDF V6.5 to be able to read them. PMDF V6.5 cannot read any databases in V6.4 or earlier formats.
    Note that PMDF V6.5 uses PBL as its database software. PMDF V6.5's PBL databases consist of two files: database.pbl which contains the data, and database.idx which contains the index.
    1. All databases for which you have sources (including those sources you created before the upgrade using the pmdf dumpdb command) can be rebuilt using the pmdf crdb command.
    2. Databases created by utilities such as pmdf profile or pmdf password, and the databases created by MessageStore/popstore such as the forward database and the group names database must either be converted using pmdf convertdb or recreated by running the corresponding utility and adding each entry back in by hand.
  3. Start up the PMDF Job Controller and PMDF Service Dispatcher using the command: 


    pmdf startup

  4. 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.
