RE: Can a DDMF point to localhost?

Hi, Mark.

The DDM Server is up and working fine except for local access, be it by
*SNA or *IP.

The SQL ALIAS worked nicely, it made the connection by SNA. But I'd like
to leave it all on a simple CL and plain CRTDDMF commands, but it's fine
to have the ALIAS option as a last resort.

Hi, Jose:

Yes, it is possible. For example, I did this:

CRTDDMF FILE(QTEMP/MYDDMF) RMTFILE(MYLIB/MYFILE)
RMTLOCNAME('127.0.0.1' *IP)

and this worked fine on my system.

Also, if you create an SQL ALIAS, it creates a DDMF "under the covers".

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

I was asked if a small set of DDMFs can be created pointing to the

IBM i. That way we could use a single machine for development.

Using RMTLOCNAME(MYSYSTEM *SNA) and attempting a DSPPFM fails with:
"Remote location AFIRMED for program device DDMDEVICE was not found."

Using RMTLOCNAME(LOCALHOST *IP) or RMTLOCNAME('127.0.0.1' *IP) and
attempting a DSPPFM fails with:
"A remote host refused an attempted connect operation."

I'm not knowledgeable enough about device or network configuration to
conclude that it can't be done, though.
