Re: Problems using a DDM file function over TCP/IP cross multiple system with same server Authentication Entries

[Evan Harris <spanner@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Vengoal

I had a similar dilemma to you where I had DDM connections between 7 
machines  for all users on those systems. The solution I eventually 
employed was along the following lines:

On each system create a dummy DDM user, e.g. SYSADDM on SYSTEMA, 
SYSBDDM on SYSTEMB, SYSCDDM on SYSTEMC etc etc

For each user, on each system run the ADDSVRAUTE for each target DD 
system, but use the USRID to specify the dummy DDM user profile on 
the target system. This avoids the problem of  having to add every 
user to every system just to run DDM.

So, an example command would look something like: ADDSVRAUTE 
USRPRF(profile) SERVER(SYSTEMA) USRID(SYSADDM)

Hope this helps with your problem
