PMDF Installation Guide
OpenVMS Edition

1.7.1 Additional Post-Installation Tasks for Sites Upgrading from PMDF V6.1-1 or Earlier

The HTTP configuration file must be updated upon upgrading to PMDF V6.2 or later from PMDF V6.1-1 or earlier. The HTTP configuration file is usually pmdf_table:http.cnf on VMS. This file can be updated by running the pmdf configure dispatcher utility, or by editing the http.cnf file manually. The manual steps are as follows. Add the following three lines:
[PATH=/images/] GET=PMDF_HTTP_GET HIDDEN=1
Find the following lines and replace them as follows:
- replace [PATH=/popstore_user/] with [PATH=/msps_user/]
- replace [PATH=/popstore_pwd/] with [PATH=/chng_pwd/]
As of PMDF V6.2, the global pmdf filter file (pmdf.filter in the table directory) requires the require command, the same way that the channel and user filter files always have. If you have a global filter file that contains any of the following commands, you must add a require statement to the top of your filter file, which lists the commands that the filter file uses.
- envelope
- fileinto
- reject
- vacation
