Create a DDM file using SNA

 

You can create a DDM file that uses SNA as the communication protocol for connecting with the remote system.

Each DDM file that uses SNA contains the following information.

 

DDM file value and description of values

DDM file name

The name of the DDM file on the source system that is used to identify a specific remote file.

Remote file name

The actual file name of the remote file; that is, the name by which it is known on the target server. (For a target System/36™, this is the file label of the remote file.)

Remote location name

The name of the remote location where the remote file exists. This remote location name provides the data link to the target server (remote location) by using APPN/APPC, over which a DDM conversation is established when this DDM file is accessed.

Device

The name of the device on the source server used to communicate with the remote location.

Local location name

The name of the local location. This is the name by which the target server knows your server. Your server can consist of more than one local location.

Mode

The name of the mode to be used to communicate between the local location and remote location.

Remote network ID

The remote network ID to be used with the remote location. This value further qualifies the remote location name. Two locations with the same remote location name but different remote network IDs are viewed as two distinctly separate locations.

Type

The type of connection to be used to communicate with the remote location when the DDM conversation is established with the remote server. To create a DDM file that uses an SNA connection, specify *SNA. This is the default type.
