RE: How to create a DDM Data Queue

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are several step to make this work.  First off is to make sure the
DDM server is running.  STRTCPSVR *DDM  You can use IBM OPSNAV to check
the status and start it if necessary. Network/Server/TCPIP/DDM

You can configure the server from there as well as start the service.
Once that you have verified that is working, you then need to make sure
you have SNA running.  This is required at least under V5R3 for DDM data
queues.

Subject: How to create a DDM Data Queue

Hello,

 

I have been trying to create a DDM data queue between 2 iSeries systems.
The data queues get created, but I get the following message when I try
to write to the remote data queue from the local machine.

 

Message ID . . . . . . :   CPF4364       Severity . . . . . . . :   40


Message type . . . . . :   Escape


Date sent  . . . . . . :   11/13/07      Time sent  . . . . . . :
15:00:54

 


Message . . . . :   Remote location BEAST for program device DDMDEVICE
was not 

  found.


Cause . . . . . :   One of the following occurred:


    -- The remote location was not defined.


    -- Not enough time was allowed to find the remote location.


    -- The combination of remote location BEAST, device *LOC, location
*LOC,

  and remote network ID *LOC is not correct.


Recovery  . . . :   Do one of the following and try the request again:


    --If the remote location was not defined, create the device
description 

  for the remote location or add the remote location to advanced
peer-to-pee

  networking (APPN).


    -- If not enough time was allowed to find the remote location,
increase 

 
More.

 

I have checked the archives and I did not see "the" answer.  I could not
find the answer in the Info center either.  The create command I am
using is:

 

CRTDTAQ DTAQ(DAVEM/BPCSM3CHGS) TYPE(*DDM) RMTDTAQ(DAVEM/BPCSM3CHGS)
RMTLO

CNAME(BEAST) TEXT('BPCS to M3 File changes')    

 

I think the problem is in the RMTLOCNAME, but I can't figure out how to
get it to work.  Both the local and remote machines are in the same room
and connected by TCPIP.  Is there a way to get this to work using the IP
addresses?  I have not setup any SNA communications before.  When I use
the WRKRDBDIRE on both machines, they have entries that point to each
other
