<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>
