This section contains step-by-step procedures for using the PMDF CONFIGURE DISPATCHER utiltiy to generate a basic PMDF Service Dispatcher configuration file. (See Chapter 6 for a sample configuration dialogue.)

You must configure the Service Dispatcher from the SYSTEM account. If you are not logged in to that account, do so now.

1. Begin the configuration of the Dispatcher by using the following commands:

   $ SET DEFAULT PMDF_TABLE: $ PMDF CONFIGURE DISPATCHER

   
   

2. Enable detailed output. (Unless you are very familiar with the configuration procedure, it is a good idea to print out detailed explanations of each prompt as the configuation progresses.)
   
3. Review the example configuration that is shown in Chapter 6. Parts of the sample site might be representative of your own network configuration. Since the sample configuration was run with detailed output enabled, the example answers might help you determine the answers that you need to provide for your own site.
   
4. When you finish running the PMDF CONFIGURE DISPATCHER utility, print the checklist file (PMDF_TABLE:dispatcher.checklist). Complete the configuration by following the steps outlined in the checklist.
   
5. If this is the initial configuration of the Dispatcher, the utility will ask if you want to configure the PMDF POP and IMAP mailbox servers.
