PMDF System Manager's Guide

When using PMDF-MR, sometimes files with names of the form $Mx$..., e.g.,

$MF$01H868YPNYBMAW31.00;1 $MB$01H798YCNYASAW41.00;1

are found in the PMDF queue directory. These are temporary files created by Message Router and the Compaq MRIF interface. You need to check the PMDF-MR log files, usually mr_local_master.log or mrif_*_master.log in the PMDF log directory, to see if there is a problem with processing messages to or from Message Router. There are also some pathological cases where Message Router leaves files behind, but these are rare. If no errors are found in the log files, these files can be deleted. You should monitor the queue directory and see if they reappear.
