Description

To zero the in-memory channel counters, issue a pmdf counters -clear command.

The pmdf counters -clear command will create a new memory section, if one does not already exist. The values in the in-memory section will be set to zero, and then the stored messages, recipients, and volumes fields will be set from the values currently in the PMDF queue cache database.

Since some initial values will be set based on entries in the PMDF queue cache database, you may want to issue the UNIX command

# pmdf cache -synchronize

or the NT command

C:\> pmdf cache -synchronize

before clearing the counters, to ensure that the queue cache database entries are current.
