<h1 class="topictitle1">Set up DDM files</h1>
<div><p>The implementation of DRDA<sup>®</sup> support on the <span class="keyword">iSeries™ server</span> uses
Distributed Data Management (DDM) conversations for communications. Because
of this, you can use DDM in conjunction with distributed relational database
processing.</p>
<div class="section"> <p>You can use DDM to submit remote commands to an application server
(AS), copy tables from one <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span> to
another, and process nondistributed relational database work on another server.</p>
<p>With
distributed relational database, information the application requester (AR)
needs to connect to a database is provided in the relational database directory.
When you use DDM, you must create a separate DDM file for each file you want
to work with on the application server (AS). The DDM file is used by the application
on the application requester (AR) to identify a remote file on the application
server (AS) and the communications path to the application server (AS).</p>
<p>As
of V5R2, you can also create DDM files with a reference to an RDB directory
entry. Some database administration tasks discussed in Manage a distributed
relational database use DDM to access remote files. A DDM file is created
using the <span class="cmdname">Create Distributed Data Management File (CRTDDMF)</span> command.
You can create a DDM file before the file and communication path named in
the file have been created. However, the file named in the DDM file and the
communications information must be created before the DDM file is used by
an application.</p>
<p>The following example shows one way a DDM file can be
created: </p>
<pre>CRTDDMF FILE (TEST/KC105TST) RMTLOCNAME(KC105)
RMTFILE(SPIFFY/INVENT)</pre>
<p>If the DDM file access in the
example is to be over TCP/IP, you must specify *IP in the second element of
the RMTLOCNAME parameter.</p>
<p>This command creates a DDM file named KC105TST
and stores it in the TEST library on the application requester (AR). This
DDM file uses the remote location KC105 to access a remote file named INVENT
stored in the SPIFFY library on the target <span class="keyword">iSeries server</span>.</p>
<p>You
can use options on the Work with DDM Files display to change, delete, display
or create DDM files.</p>
