This section presents a step-by-step procedure for generating your PMDF-XGS configuration file using the PMDF CONFIGURE XGS utility.

1. Configuration of PMDF-XGS should be done using the SYSTEM account to ensure that the necessary privileges are available to create the configuration files. If you are not logged in as SYSTEM, do so now.
2. Begin the configuration procedure by invoking the PMDF-XGS command line configuration utility as follows:

   $ SET DEFAULT PMDF_TABLE: $ PMDF CONFIGURE XGS

3. The configuration procedure will optionally print out detailed explanations of each prompt as it proceeds. Unless you are conversant with the procedure, you should enable the detailed output.
4. Once you have completed running PMDF CONFIGURE XGS, type out or print out the PMDF_TABLE:xgs.checklist file and complete the configuration by following the steps outlined in the checklist.
5. If you are using a compiled configuration, you will need to recompile using the PMDF CNBUILD utility for your new PMDF-XGS configuration to be visible to PMDF.
6. Once you have included the SNADS service in the PMDF Service Dispatcher configuration file as directed by the checklist file, you must restart the Dispatcher so that it sees the new configuration, using the command

   $ PMDF RESTART DISPATCHER
