RE: DDM file access problems

["Mackie, Roger L. (Precision Press)" <RLMackie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Rick,

It has been a few years, so I'm not sure of the message number. When we
first set up a DDM application and had multiple users trying to connect, we
discovered that there were limits to the number of users who could use the
connection. IIRC, the DDM connection device was set up to allow 8 user jobs.
Once a user used a connection, their job held it until the job ended or it
timed out. Our solution was to create a data queue with monitor program to
update the DDM files. That way we could have as many users as we wanted and
still only use one DDM line.

HTH,
Roger Mackie

Subject: DDM file access problems

hey all,

I've got a problem accessing a DDM file for some users.  The profiles and
authorities appear to be set up correctly on both boxes, but some users can
open it, and some cant.

the error is one that is specific to DDM files, and doesn't tell me much -
has anyone gotten this message before, and what was the cause?

Thanks,

Rick

Message ID . . . . . . . . . :   CPF9155
Message file . . . . . . . . :   QCPFMSG
  Library  . . . . . . . . . :     QSYS
Message . . . . :   Cannot communicate with DDM target system.
Cause . . . . . :   An error occurred while attempting to access the
  distributed data management (DDM) target system.  If the target system is
an
  iSeries or a System/38 server, the cause for this error is one of the
  following:
    -- Target system DDMACC network attribute could not be accessed.
    -- Target system DDMACC network attribute value is specified as *REJECT.
    -- User exit program not found on target system.
    -- User is not authorized to user exit program on the target system.
    -- Library in search list for user exit program is locked on target
  system.
    -- The Independent ASP specified in the Relational Database entry for
the
  DDM file is not available on the target system or the target system does
not
  support Independent ASPs.
Recovery  . . . :   Do the following:
    -- Try the request again.
    -- Change the (DDMACC) value on the target system to *OBJAUT or to a
  qualified program name of the customer validation program using the change
  network attribute command (CHGNETA).
    -- Ensure the specified user exit program exists.
    -- Ensure the target user profile is authorized to the user exit
program.
    -- Wait until the library in the search list is unlocked. Make any
  required changes and then try the request again.
    -- Ensure that the target system supports Independent ASPs and the
  Independent ASP specified on the DDM file is varied on and available on
the
  target system.
