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.
