RE: Can a DDMF point to localhost?

You only need a server authentication entry if the profile being used to
make the DDM connection does not exist on both the source and target
systems.

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.
