Communications setup for DDM examples and tasks

These topics describe the network in which DDM is used for these task examples.

The network contains a central server in Philadelphia (an iSeries™ server), two remote iSeries servers in Toronto and New York City, a System/38™ in Chicago, and a System/36™ in Dallas. The Advanced Program-to-Program Communication (APPC) network for these servers was configured with the values shown in the following figure.

In this set of task examples, the System/36 has Release 5 of DDM installed and DDM with the compatible PTF installed. The System/38 has Release 8 of CPF installed with the DDM licensed program and the compatible program temporary fix (PTF) change applied to the server.
