Description

   A new, cluster-wide database of channel counters is created
   with the PMDF COUNTERS/CRDB command. The new database will have
   all counters zeroed except for the counts of stored messages,
   recipients, and message volumes for each channel. Those counts
   will be determined by the entries in the PMDF queue cache
   database. In addition, if an in-memory section for association
   and channel counters on this node does not already exist, it will
   be created as well.

   Once an on-disk database exists, its values may be updated
   from the node-specific, in-memory sections by using the PMDF
   COUNTERS/SYNCRONIZE command.

   Note that since some initial database values will be set based on
   entries in the PMDF queue cache database, you may want to issue a

   $ PMDF CACHE/SYNCHRONIZE

   command before issuing the PMDF COUNTERS/CRDB command, to ensure
   that the queue cache database values are themselves current.
