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-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-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.

and press [RETURN].
* Options: |
* Are you ready: |
YES
followed by a [RETURN] when the volume is ready for
mounting. This question will not appear when installing from disk. The
following messages are then displayed:

Producer: INNOSOFT
Version: 6.8
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 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-POPSTORE, or PMDF-MSGSTORE are
registered and loaded, and given a chance to exit the installation
procedure if you have not already done so. Copies of various e-mail
related standards documents---useful reference materials for the
Postmaster at your site---can be installed optionally. Online
documentation in HTML format can be installed.
