RE: Can a DDMF point to localhost?

Hi Vern

My recollection was that DDM files defined over an IP connection require a
server authentication entry.

First time I defined that stuff was at V5R2 so I have no recollection of
what V5R1 had or didn't have. Come to think of it - I don't remember working
on V5R1 except for a couple of test boxes.

Regards
Evan Harris

I looked at a v5r4 machine and saw no entries for my profile. Those
don't even exist on our v5r1 machine.

Seems I remember you saying something about IASPs in this context - but
I've not tested that kind of thing.

Confused!!

Hi Jose

Yes it can be done. I've seen it done a couple of different ways.

Do you have the DDM Sever started and also does it require a password ?

Note also when setting up TCP DDM files that you need to add a server
authentication entry ADDSVRAUTE for the target system.

Hi.

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