RE: design question, how to handle this project

Hi
Thanx Sergio, i was thinking about using threads in
java and JDBC to get data, since i am not sure if we
can use MQSeries, and we dont want to put any code on
other AS400 box, but only in websphere.
So i will write a program which will start thread for
each AS400, and collect the data, is this a good
approach
what is DDM?? where can i get more info about it
