DDM file creation using TCP/IP
You can create a DDM file that uses TCP/IP as the communication protocol for connecting with the remote system.
Each DDM file that uses TCP/IP contains the following information.
DDM file value and description of values
- DDM file name
- The name of the DDM file on the client 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 server system.
- Remote location name
- The name of the remote location where the remote file exists. This remote location name provides the data link to the server system (remote location) by using TCP/IP, over which a DDM conversation is established when this DDM file is accessed.
- Type
- The type of connection to be used to communicate with the remote location when the DDM conversation is established with the remote system. To create a DDM file that uses TCP/IP, specify *IP.
