When I am trying to debug a DDM problem one of the places I look is to the
job on the remote system that services the DDM. On our system (V5R4) there
are jobs called QRWTSRVR that run out of the QUSRWRK subsystem. On the
active jobs screen, they should have the current user as the user profile
used in the DDM connection:

WRKACTJOB SBS(QUSRWRK)

Subsystem/Job User Type
QUSRWRK QSYS SBS
QRWTSRVR QTMHHTP1 PJ
QRWTSRVR QTMHHTP1 PJ
QRWTSRVR QTMHHTP1 PJ
QRWTSRVR QTMHHTP1 PJ
QRWTSRVR QPGMR PJ

You can then look at the job log of these jobs to help figure out what is
going wrong. (as long as the request has made it to the remote system)

The authentication discussion was very helpful, we also wanted to
consolidate DDM access through the same profile, to avoid replicating
dozens of profiles.

I wonder if there is further advice about creating localhost DDMFs?

We did as Mark suggested but still can't figure why they won't work on our
setup.

Yeah, you and Chuck are quite right.

I was remembering what was required for a production implementation where
many different profiles might use a DDM file and were not guaranteed to
exist on the remote machine.

As you have pointed out: what I had to do to make it work in a practical
sense is not equal to the minimum required for it to function.

Yeah but I clearly have no such entry under my name and it still works.
Guess there'd have to be one if my user id and password didn't match,
which they do. Then it'd be like Chuck says.

OK - on to eating my Subway Italian BMT.

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.

Evan

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.
