PMDF contains a modest collection of management utility programs, which are used to perform various maintenance, testing, and management tasks. The following sections describe these utilities. Note that many of the utilities are mentioned elsewhere in this document in the context of how they are actually used. PMDF popstore and PMDF MessageStore utilities are described in the PMDF popstore & MessageStore Manager's Guide. User-level utilities are described in the PMDF User's Guide.

Briefly, the PMDF utilities, both those documented in the PMDF User's Guide or PMDF popstore & MessageStore Manager's Guide and those documented here, are shown in Table 30-1. Those utilities only available under OpenVMS are marked with a +; those only available under UNIX and NT are marked with a ++; those available on UNIX but not available on NT are marked with a §.

This chapter is broken into two main sections. The first section, Command Line Utilities on OpenVMS, describes the command line utilities available on OpenVMS (except those documented in the PMDF User's Guide); the second section, Interactive Utilities on OpenVMS, describes the interactive QM and TEST/X400 utilities available on OpenVMS.
