No, Our SOX compliance regulates what systems DDM connections can be made from/to.
DDM conversations are turned off from out TEST boxes to our PRODUCTION boxes. In other words, we cannot create a DDM connection to a production box from a test box. In our environment, we have over 150 boxes connecting to our central corporate box passing data back and forth and we had issues with test G/L data getting into the PRODUCTION G/L data.
However, when this policy is enforced, is disrupts my RDi connection on production systems and I want to bypass this so I don't have to keep entering service tickets to correct for RDi.

Allen, is your IT Department shutting down ALL DDM traffic or just the "drda server"? (The non-ssl version of ddm.)
I assume they are shutting it down for PCI or HIPAA compliance.
Whatever the reason, you have two options today:
(Option A)
Use SSL to connect to the Production box. This way your IT Department can shut down ports 446 and 447 only allowing designated traffic on port 448 (using SSL certificates controlled by your IT Department). This option allows you to connect to your Production box in a secure manner. But if your source is NOT in version control, it may not be the best solution. This still exposes your source to developers.
(Option B)
If SSL is NOT an option, you could use FTP from your Production system source and send it to your Test System. Then you could use RDi to open the members from your Test system.
This option allows you to choose what to send back from your Test system to deploy it on your Production system.
Hope this helps!

Hi Allen,
It is true that RDi uses the DDM service to download IBM i members and is at present not configurable to another mechanism.
If you chose to open an RFE. Please provide details as to why your company finds that DDM is unacceptable.
Thanks,

I have a question about RDi. I'm using RDi 9 and would like to know if you can change how source members are retrieved from the remote ISeries system.
Specifically our company is locking down DDMF communications to production systems from our test systems. When this happens, I can no longer retrieve source members from production systems using RDi since it appears RDi uses DDMF communications.
Is there a way to configure RDi to retrieve source members using an FTP protocol instead of DDM?
Thanks!
