Every BITNET site should update their PMDF BITNET routing tables on a monthly basis by obtaining current versions of XMAILER NAMES and DOMAIN NAMES. If you do not already have a source for these files, then refer to Section 2.8 for one set of sources.

After obtaining current versions of these two files, place them in the location indicated in your PMDF_TABLE:bitnet_domains_driver.com file. Most sites keep these files as PMDF_TABLE:xmailer.names as PMDF_TABLE:domain.names, respectively. Then, issue the command

$ @PMDF_TABLE:bitnet_domains_driver.com

This command procedure will take several minutes to run; it will output new PMDF configuration information based upon the contents of the XMAILER NAMES and DOMAIN NAMES files. Next, if you are using a compiled configuration, issue the commands

$ PMDF CNBUILD $ INSTALL REPLACE PMDF_CONFIG_DATA

The CNBUILD command must be issued once for each architecture (VAX, Alpha, and I64). The INSTALL command must be issued on every system running PMDF and using the same configuration information, (e.g., all members of a cluster running PMDF). Finally, issue the command

$ PMDF RESTART BN_SLAVE

to restart any detached Mailer Daemon processes running BN_SLAVE. This command requires the SYSLCK privilege to issue; it will restart all BN_SLAVE processes across a cluster. (Each cluster member running PMDF and Jnet will have a BN_SLAVE process running.)
