<h1 class="topictitle1">Basic DDM concepts</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>This topic collection gives the basic concepts of DDM.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Because remote file processing is much like local file processing, these
|
||
|
|
topics should provide sufficient conceptual information for most users of
|
||
|
|
DDM. Another topic provides additional, more detailed concepts, and the topic
|
||
|
|
Additional DDM concepts is intended primarily for the experienced programmer
|
||
|
|
who wants or needs to know more about DDM.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>From an user's viewpoint, accessing data on a remote system is much the
|
||
|
|
same as accessing data on the local system. The main difference is the additional
|
||
|
|
time needed for the data link to pass the data between the systems whenever
|
||
|
|
the remote file is accessed. Otherwise, the user or application program does
|
||
|
|
not need to know whether the data being accessed came from a local or remote
|
||
|
|
file. Refer to Performance considerations for DDM for additional considerations.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>For DDM <span class="keyword">iSeries™</span>-to-<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> file processing, remote file
|
||
|
|
processing is done much the same as local file processing. The purpose of
|
||
|
|
this topic collection is to describe the things that are different for DDM.
|
||
|
|
Also, because other systems can use DDM, those considerations and concepts
|
||
|
|
are covered as needed to enable the <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> programmer
|
||
|
|
to successfully prepare the server for using DDM.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The DDM concepts in these topics describe mainly <span class="keyword">iSeries</span>-to-<span class="keyword">iSeries</span> remote
|
||
|
|
file processing. For purposes of illustration, concepts that relate to <span class="keyword">System/36™</span> and <span class="keyword">System/38™</span> are
|
||
|
|
shown in some examples. If you are using DDM on both <span class="keyword">System/36</span>s
|
||
|
|
and <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> servers, you should
|
||
|
|
be aware that the concepts for both types are similar, except in the way they
|
||
|
|
point to the remote file: An <span class="keyword">iSeries</span> server
|
||
|
|
and a <span class="keyword">System/38</span> use a separate <dfn class="term">DDM
|
||
|
|
file</dfn> to refer to each remote file to be accessed; <span class="keyword">System/36</span> uses
|
||
|
|
a network resource directory that contains one <dfn class="term">network resource directory
|
||
|
|
entry</dfn> for each remote file to be accessed.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Although DDM supports other functions besides opening and accessing
|
||
|
|
remote files, the concepts described in this topic collection deal primarily
|
||
|
|
with remote file accessing.</div>
