VMS Help  —  PMDF  COUNTERS  /SYNCHRONIZE
    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.
