The CACHE/CLOSE utility is used to force, cluster-wide, all detached PMDF processes to close any open I/O channels that they have to the queue cache database. This is generally done for two reasons: to close all channels to the file so that it can be modified, and to force detached processes to re-open the queue cache database file so as to begin using any new version of that database. Sites using the TCP/IP channel, PMDF-LAN Lotus Notes channels, PMDF-XGS, Jnet (BN_SLAVE), the PMDF-DIRSYNC Lotus Notes directory agent, or FAX receive processes will have detached PMDF processes which may need to close channels to the database.
