PMDF System Manager's Guide

While diagnosing a PMDF delivery problem it can be useful to run a PMDF delivery job by hand, particularly after enabling debugging output for one or more channels. The command

# pmdf submit channel-name

will notify the PMDF Job Controller to run the channel. If debugging is enabled for the channel in question, pmdf submit will create a log file in /pmdf/log as described in Table 34-1.

The command

# pmdf run channel-name

will perform outbound delivery for the channel channel-name under the currently active process, with output directed to your terminal. This can be more convenient than submitting a job, particularly if you suspect problems with job submission itself.
