When PMDF is installed, the installation procedure creates a file of
PMDF logical name definitions (OpenVMS)
SYS$STARTUP:pmdf_startup.com, or a PMDF tailor file of
option settings (UNIX) /etc/pmdf_tailor, or PMDF entries
in the NT Registry (see the Registry under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SOFTWARE, Process
Software, PMDF, Tailor) establishing PMDF's operational parameters,
such as specifying the normal names of PMDF's main configuration files
and specifying on which disk(s) PMDF directories are located. For
instance, the PMDF_QUEUE logical name (OpenVMS) or tailor
file option (UNIX) or Registry entry (NT) specifies the location of the
PMDF queue area.
On OpenVMS, a command to execute pmdf_startup.com should
be added to the system startup procedure, so that these required PMDF
logicals are properly defined each time the system is rebooted. On UNIX
and NT, the tailor values are automatically consulted by PMDF as
necessary.
Normally the Process Software-supplied pmdf_startup.com
file, PMDF Tailor file, or NT Registry entries, once generated during
PMDF installation, should not be site modified.b On OpenVMS,
if you want to site customize such settings you can create a file
PMDF_COM:pmdf_site_startup.com containing the settings
that you want to alter; pmdf_startup.com will
automatically execute such a site-supplied file, if it exists.
It is sometimes desired to change the values specifying the disk location of directories such as the PMDF queue, table and log directories. This should only be done when a system is running standalone (with no other processes on it). Furthermore, note that due to limitations in the Solaris utilities pkginfo,
pkgrm, and pkgadd, manually relocating the
entire PMDF directory tree (/pmdf and everything under it)
after installation is not supported on Solaris.

changed is the OpenVMS-only logical name
