I don't understand how ADDSVRAUTE works

["Carl Galgano" <cgalgano2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have 2 AS400s, one on V5R1 (system A), the other on V4R4 (system B).

On system A I have created a DDM file that points to system B via
TCP/IP.

I have added a SVRAUTE (ADDSVRAUTE) that specifies that my profile on
system A should use a certain profile and password on system B when
making a DDM request.  But I still get CPF9190 with reason code 5, "User
Profile not found".  But I am not sure which user profile it is talking
about.  The user ID I specify on the ADDSVRAUTE is on system B and the
password is correct.  I know the DDM file works, because I can sign onto
system A with a user profile that also exists on system B, and the DDMF
works fine.  I thought the purpose of the ADDSVRAUTE command was to
allow users on one system that did not have a profile on another, to
"substitute" a user and password to use when making the DDM request.
Can someone please shed some light....

As always, thanks for the assistance.
