PMDF System Manager's Guide

If you have a PMDF server account, usually called PMDF¹ and created during installation of PMDF, the PMDF queue and log directories and all subdirectories thereof and files contained therein must be owned by the PMDF server account. The PMDF queue and log directories are referenced via the logical names PMDF_QUEUE and PMDF_LOG, respectively, and are usually PMDF_ROOT:[000000]queue.dir and PMDF_ROOT:[000000]log.dir, respectively.

The queue cache database, PMDF_TABLE:queue_cache.dat, should also be owned by that same account. If the protection and ownership are not correct for the queue cache database, messages can not be entered into the queue cache, and the queue cache will become desynchronized. The proper protection of these files should be:

Directory PMDF_ROOT:[000000] QUEUE.DIR;1 [PMDF] (RWED,RWED,,) LOG.DIR;1 [PMDF] (RWED,RWED,,) Directory PMDF_ROOT:[TABLE] QUEUE_CACHE.DAT;1 [PMDF] (RWED,RWED,,)

If you do not have the PMDF server account, these files should have the same protection as above, but they should be owned by SYSTEM.
