Build a new, synchronized queue cache database.
Syntax
PMDF CACHE/REBUILD
Command Qualifiers Defaults
None. None.
1 – Restrictions
Requires sufficient privileges to create a file in the PMDF_
TABLE: directory, and to scan the PMDF_QUEUE:[*] directories.
2 – Parameters
None.
3 – Description
The CACHE/REBUILD utility creates a new, synchronized queue cache
database. Although the new database will inherit the ownership
and file protections of the previous database, it is a good idea
to check afterwards that the new queue cache is owned by the same
UIC as the QUEUE.DIR and LOG.DIR files in the PMDF_ROOT:[000000]
directory and that the file is protected against group and world
access (S:RWED,O:RWED,G,W).
Rebuilding the queue cache database with this command should
only be performed as a last resort, e.g., if disk problems
have corrupted your queue cache database, as it will cause loss
of some information from the queue cache database. (The sort
of information lost includes, but is not limited to, message
creation dates, message deferral dates, message expiration dates,
and the original message owner information used by the PMDF QM
utility to allow users to bounce their own messages.)
The command PMDF CACHE/CLOSE should be issued immediately after
building the new queue cache so as to ensure that any detached
processes close any I/O channels to the old database and open new
channels to the new database.
The queue cache database is the file pointed at by the PMDF_
QUEUE_CACHE_DATABASE logical. Normally, this is the file QUEUE_
CACHE.DAT in the PMDF_TABLE: directory. This file should be
protected against world and group access and be owned by the same
UIC as the directory files QUEUE.DIR and LOG.DIR in the PMDF_
ROOT: directory.
