<div><p>This first example shows how multiple locations in a customer's
|
||
|
|
business might be processing the same inquiry application on their own servers,
|
||
|
|
using their own primary files. Without DDM, the two locations shown here (Chicago
|
||
|
|
and Toronto) have their own primary file (CUSTMAST), both with different and
|
||
|
|
duplicate levels of information.</p>

|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The following program (in pseudocode form) is run at each location
|
||
|
|
to access its own primary file named CUSTMAST.</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre> Open CUSTMAST
|
||
|

LOOP: Prompt for CUSTNO

If function 1, go to END

Go to LOOP

END: Close CUSTMAST

|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Using DDM, the CUSTMAST files are consolidated into one file at
|
||
|
|
a centralized location (Philadelphia, in these examples), and then the local
|
||
|
|
files in Chicago and Toronto can be deleted. The inquiry program used at each
|
||
|
|
remote location and at the central location to access that file is identical
|
||
|
|
to the program used previously.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>To perform <em>remote</em> inquiries without changing the program,
|
||
|
|
each of the remote locations need only create a DDM file and use an override
|
||
|
|
command:</p>
|
||
|
|
<pre>CRTDDMF FILE(INQ) RMTFILE(CUSTMAST) RMTLOCNAME(PHILLY)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
OVRDBF FILE(CUSTMAST) TOFILE(INQ)</pre>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The DDM file points to the Philadelphia server as the target server
|
||
|
|
and to the CUSTMAST file as the remote file. The same values for this command
|
||
|
|
can be used at each remote location if they also have a remote location named
|
||
|
|
PHILLY. </p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>Because CUSTMAST is the file name used in the program, the <span class="cmdname">Override
|
||
|
|
with Database File (OVRDBF)</span> command must be used to override the
|
||
|
|
nonexistent CUSTMAST file with the DDM file INQ. (If the CUSTMAST file still
|
||
|
|
exists on the local server, the override is needed to access the central server's
|
||
|
|
primary file; without it, the local file is accessed.)</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>The figure below shows the same two servers accessing the centralized
|
||
|
|
CUSTMAST file by using their DDM files, each named INQ.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>An alternative to this approach is to leave the CUSTMAST files
|
||
|
|
on the Chicago and Toronto servers and use them for nonessential inquiries,
|
||
|
|
such as name and address, and use the central CUSTMAST file in Philadelphia
|
||
|
|
for any changes. The CUSTMAST files on the Chicago and Toronto servers can
|
||
|
|
be changed periodically to the current level of the primary file on the Philadelphia
|
||
|
|
server.</p>
|
||
|
|
</div>
|
||
|
|
<div class="section"><p>This alternative method will be used in the next example.</p>
