Re: DDM setup

Perhaps I posted my question too quickly - this IBM Doc seems to have the answers to my questions:

I have a few physical and logical files on a development iSeries which I
need to make available to an application running on our production iSeries
system. Both systems are running V5R4.

Several programs which run on the production system need to update or
randomly retrieve data from the files on the development system via DDM
files.

Caveats:

1) Both systems are going away very soon - we are in the final stages of
converting the data to another system which uses an Oracle database.

2) There are several hundred user profiles on the production system which DO
NOT have corresponding user profiles on the development system.

3) I don't worry about production users having access to the development
system - they don't generally have command line access on the system anyway.


I have done some testing by creating [on the development system] a DDM file
which point back to the physical file on the development system:

1) CRTDDMF
FILE(DDMDEV/FILEA)
RMTFILE(DEVDATA/FILEA)
RMTLOCNAME(DEVSYS.OURDOMAIN.COM) *IP)

where DDMDEV is a library on the development system and DEVSYS is the
host name of the development system.

2) Then DSPPFM FILE(DDMDEV/FILEA) produced a CPF9190 error, so I used

3) ADDSVRAUTE USRPRF(MYPROFILE) SERVER(QDDMSERVER) USRID(MYPROFILE)
PASSWORD(MYPASSWORD)

to add a server authorization entry on the development system for myself
and then

4) DSPPFM now works OK for me (on the development system).

However, I don't want to have to add server authorization entries for
hundreds of users on the production system just to get this to work for
them.

What do I do?
