Description

   The PMDF COUNTERS/CLEAR command is used to clear the values in
   the node-specific, in-memory section of counters. The command
   creates the node-specific, in-memory section of association and
   channel counters if it does not already exist. Then it zeros all
   fields in the in-memory section. Note that the counters will be
   zeroed without first merging their values into the cluster-wide
   database of channel counters. If a cluster-wide, on-disk database
   does not already exist, a new one will be created. Finally, the
   fields in the on-disk database for numbers of stored messages,
   message recipients, and message volumes are set based on the
   entries in the PMDF queue cache database.

   Either the association counters, or channel counters, or both,
   may be cleared. The default is to clear both association and
   channel counters.

   If you want to update the on-disk database with the old in-memory
   values before clearing them, then you should issue a

   $ PMDF COUNTERS/SYNCHRONIZE

   command before issuing the PMDF COUNTERS/CLEAR command.

   You may also want to issue a

   $ PMDF CACHE/SYNCHRONIZE

   command before issuing the PMDF COUNTERS/CLEAR command, to ensure
   that the queue cache database values (which will be used to set
   some of the on-disk database values) are themselves current.
