Synchronize each of the node-specific, in-memory caches of
channel counters with the cluster-wide database.
Syntax
COUNTERS/SYNCHRONIZE
Command Qualifiers Defaults
None. None.
1 – Restrictions
Normally, just WORLD privilege is required to use this utility.
However, if the node-specific, in-memory section must be created,
then SYSGBL and PRMGBL are required; or if the cluster-wide,
on-disk database must be created, then privileges sufficient to
create a file in the PMDF_TABLE: directory are required.
2 – Parameters
None.
3 – Description
To synchronize each of the node-specific, in-memory caches of
channel counters with the cluster-wide database, issue a PMDF
COUNTERS/SYNCHRONIZE command. The command will not return control
back to you until all the caches have been synchronized. The
PMDF COUNTERS/SYNCHRONIZE command signals each PMDF counters
synchronization process in the cluster-there should be one
such process on each node running PMDF. Note that on each node,
the synchronization can only be performed if the PMDF counters
synchronization process is running on that node.
Assuming that the PMDF counters synchronization process is
running on each node, then for each node the node-specific, in-
memory cache will be created, if it does not already exist. If
the cluster-wide, on-disk database does not exist, it will be
created. The in-memory cache values will be used to update the
on-disk database, and then the on-disk database values for stored
messages, recipients, and volume will be set by scanning the PMDF
queue cache database.
