The following discussion outlines the steps in the PMDF installation procedure. Refer to Chapter 2 for a sample installation dialogue.
vmslicense.com procedure located in the
SYS$UPDATE: directory. You need a PAK for PMDF (PMDF or
PMDF-MTA). If you will also be installing PMDF-DIRSYNC, PMDF-LAN,
PMDF-MSGSTORE, PMDF-POPSTORE, or PMDF-TLS, then a PAK will also be
required for each of those products.
If you already have existing PAKs, you should check to make sure they
are valid for this release. Use the SHOW LICENSE command to check the
release date of the existing PAKs, and make sure the date is later than
release date of the new version. New PAKs are issued when your
maintenance contract is renewed, not when new versions of software is
released. If you have received new PAKs at your renewal time, you
should register the new PAKs. First delete or disable the old PAKs,
then unload the old PAKs and load the new PAKs. For example, if you
received a new PMDF PAK, do the following:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:vmslicense
.
. [register the new PAK]
.
$ LICENSE DISABLE PMDF-productname/PRODUCER=INNOSOFT/AUTHORIZATION=xxx
$ LICENSE DELETE PMDF-productname/PRODUCER=INNOSOFT/AUTHORIZATION=xxx
$ LICENSE UNLOAD PMDF-productname/PRODUCER=INNOSOFT
$ LICENSE LOAD PMDF-productname
|
PMDF-productname is the name of the PMDF
product, e.g., PMDF-MTA, PMDF, PMDF-LAN, PMDF-MSGSTORE, or
PMDF-POPSTORE, etc., and where xxx is
the authorization number of the old PAK. The last two steps, LICENCE
UNLOAD and LOAD must be done on all systems running PMDF and using the
new PAKs.

Product: PMDF-MTA, PMDF-ACCESS, or PMDF
Producer: INNOSOFT
Version: 6.7
Release Date: date
* Does this product have an authorization key registered and loaded?
|
YES if you have already registered
and loaded the PMDF license PAK. If you have not already registered and
loaded the PMDF license PAK, then answer
NO now. Do not attempt to install PMDF if
you have not loaded your license PAKs. Do not upgrade PMDF if you do
not have an appropriate PMDF license PAK. An appropriate license PAK
will have a release date which is in the future. Any version of PMDF
released after the release date of your PAK will not run.
* Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? |
NO if you do not want to purge
replaced files. Press [RETURN] or type
YES if you want to purge files replaced
by this installation of PMDF. YES to the next
question.
Install Alpha VMS executables as well as VAX VMS executables [NO]? |
NO if you do not want to install OpenVMS
Alpha support. If you will be using PMDF on an OpenVMS I64 system, then
answer YES to the next question.
Install I64 VMS executables as well as VAX VMS executables [NO]? |
NO if you do not want to install OpenVMS
I64 support.
* Enter the device and directory [SYS$SYSDEVICE:[PMDF]]: |
--------------- Attention -------------------- The logical name PMDF_ROOT is already defined. It refers to the directory directory-path ---------------------------------------------- * Do you want to install the new files at that same location [YES]? |
NO and to the next prompt specify the
name of a different disk or directory or both:
* Enter the device and directory [SYS$SYSDEVICE:[PMDF]]: |
* Username for the PMDF server account [PMDF]: |
* Does this account already exist [NO]? |
YES if your PMDF server account
already exists, otherwise, press [RETURN] or type
NO. If the PMDF server account does not
exist, the procedure prompts for a password and UIC for the new account
to be created:
* Password for the PMDF server account: * Numeric UIC for the PMDF server account [[375,1]]: |
* Username for the PMDF user account [PMDF_USER]: |
* Does this account already exist [NO]? |
YES if your PMDF user account
already exists, otherwise, press [RETURN] or type
NO. If the PMDF user account does not
exist, the procedure prompts for a password and UIC for the new account
to be created:
* Password for the PMDF user account: * Numeric UIC for the PMDF user account [[374,1]]: |
* Queue PMDF jobs should run in [MAIL$BATCH]: |
* Username for PMDF service jobs [SYSTEM]: |
* Batch queue DELIVER jobs should run in [SYS$BATCH]: |
mail.delivery files. This queue must be an OpenVMS batch
queue; queues handled by the PMDF Process Symbiont are not suitable
candidates for handling jobs created by DELIVER.
* Current timezone for this site [default]: |
| Time Zone | Abbreviation | Offset from GMT |
|---|---|---|
| Universal Time | GMT | +0000 |
| Eastern standard time | EST | -0500 |
| Eastern daylight time | EDT | -0400 |
| Central standard time | CST | -0600 |
| Central daylight time | CDT | -0500 |
| Mountain standard time | MST | -0700 |
| Mountain daylight time | MDT | -0600 |
| Pacific standard time | PST | -0800 |
| Pacific daylight time | PDT | -0700 |
shhmm, where s is
either "+" or "-",
hh is the hours offset, and
mm is the minutes offset.
The time zone string is equated with the system logical PMDF_TIMEZONE
which is declared within the command file
SYS$STARTUP:pmdf_startup.com. Whenever you change your
clock from standard to daylight savings time or vice versa, you will
have to alter the definition of this logical by editing and reexecuting
the file SYS$STARTUP:pmdf_startup.com. Optionally, you can
choose to specify NONE for the PMDF timezone, if your VMS system has
time zone logicals defined. In this case, the PMDF_TIMEZONE logical is
not set by PMDF_STARTUP.COM and PMDF will use the timezone specified by
the system. PMDF looks for the following system logicals: first it
looks for SYS$LOCALTIME, then if that is not defined, it looks for
SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL and SYS$TIMEZONE_NAME.
* Do you want a system help entry for the PMDF DCL command [YES]? |
* Do you want to have PMDF_STARTUP.COM run after the installation completes [YES]? |
YES to
execute the startup procedure automatically. Type
NO to prevent the startup procedure from
being executed by the installation. If you plan to run the automatic
configuration generator after installing PMDF, be sure you accept this
action or manually execute SYS$STARTUP:pmdf_startup.com
before using the configuration procedure.
* Do you wish to install PMDF-TLS [YES]? * Do you wish to install PMDF-LAN [YES]? * Do you wish to install PMDF-DIRSYNC [YES]? * Do you wish to install the PMDF Message Store [YES]? The mail RFC files will require 26570 blocks. * Do you wish to install the mail RFC files [YES]? The HTML format documentation will require 28493 blocks. * Do you wish to install HTML format documentation [YES]? |
YES to install
them now. (Note that PMDF-MSGSTORE and PMDF-POPSTORE are partially
installed automatically with the base PMDF kit, though they allow only
limited use unless separate PMDF-MSGSTORE or PMDF-POPSTORE licenses,
respectively, are installed.) You will be asked if the license PAKs for
PMDF-TLS, PMDF-LAN, PMDF-DIRSYNC, PMDF-POPSTORE, or PMDF-MSGSTORE are
registered and loaded, and given a chance to exit the installation
procedure if you have not already done so.
Customers who are using any direct PC channels from before the product restructuring of September 1994 should answer YES to the PMDF-LAN question.
