While diagnosing a PMDF delivery problem it can be useful to run a PMDF delivery job by hand, particularly after enabling debugging output for one or more channels; see Section 2.3.4.85 for details on enabling debugging. The command
      $ @PMDF_COM:submit_master channel-name  | 
channel-name
This is the same submit logic used when messages are accepted from VMS MAIL by  PMDF for immediate delivery. If debugging is enabled for the channel in  question, then  submit_master.com
will create a log file in  PMDF_LOG:
as described in Table 33-1.
      $ @PMDF_COM:master channel-name  | 
channel-name
in the currently active process, with output directed to your terminal. 
This can be more convenient than submitting a job, particularly if you 
suspect problems with job submission itself.
In addition to   channel-name
 both  master.com
and  submit_master.com
will accept several other parameters:
      $ @PMDF_COM:master channel-name [poll [since-time]] $ @PMDF_COM:submit_master channel-name [poll [queue-name [since-time]]]  | 
channel-name
     | 
    
 Required parameter specifying the channel. This determines which 
 messages will be attempted and what channel master program will be 
 executed. Channels known to your PMDF configuration appear as channel 
 block names in your
      pmdf.cnf file.
     | 
  
poll
     | 
    
 Optional parameter is a keyword specifying either
poll,
nopoll, or
ignore.
nopoll is the default and avoids executing the channel 
program if there are no messages awaiting outbound delivery. If the 
channel supports it,
poll will execute the channel master program to pick up 
messages from a remote slave.
      ignore is used only by the G3_TO_FAX channel and causes 
      time stamp checking to be bypassed.
     | 
  
queue-name
     | 
    
 Optional parameter specifying the queue for submission. Applies to
      submit_master.com only.
     | 
  
since-time
     | 
    Optional parameter specifying an OpenVMS date/time. Only messages queued after this date/time will be processed. |
