PMDF System Manager's Guide

A PMDF Process Symbiont queue is created by initializing a server queue with pmdf_process_smb as its processor on the appropriate cluster node, node:¹

$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/DEVICE=SERVER/NOENABLE_GENERIC - $_ /PROCESSOR=pmdf_process_smb/ON=node:: - $_ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE,O:RWD,G:R,W:R) PMDF_1

Note that the /NOENABLE_GENERIC qualifier should be specified in order to prevent generic printer queues without specifically defined execution queues from unintentionally printing to this queue. Similarly, the queue should be protected from non-privileged submissions to prevent users from using the queue for jobs that are not PMDF jobs.

For example, the following sequence of commands will create four parallel Process Symbiont execution queues serving a single MAIL$BATCH generic queue. An example of these commands can be found in the file PMDF_COM:init_mail_queues.com-sample.

$ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/DEVICE=SERVER/NOENABLE_GENERIC - $_ /PROCESSOR=pmdf_process_smb/ON=node:: - $_ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE, O:RWD, G:R, W:R) PMDF_1 $ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/DEVICE=SERVER/NOENABLE_GENERIC - $_ /PROCESSOR=pmdf_process_smb/ON=node:: - $_ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE, O:RWD, G:R, W:R) PMDF_2 $ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/DEVICE=SERVER/NOENABLE_GENERIC - $_ /PROCESSOR=pmdf_process_smb/ON=node:: - $_ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE, O:RWD, G:R, W:R) PMDF_3 $ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/DEVICE=SERVER/NOENABLE_GENERIC - $_ /PROCESSOR=pmdf_process_smb/ON=node:: - $_ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE, O:RWD, G:R, W:R) PMDF_4 $ INITIALIZE/QUEUE/DEVICE=SERVER/GENERIC=(PMDF_1, PMDF_2, PMDF_3, PMDF_4) - $_ /PROTECTION=(S:RWE, O:RWD, G:R, W:R) MAIL$BATCH
