Use of object distribution with DDM
You can also use both SNADS (on iSeries™ servers) and DDM (on iSeries servers and non-iSeries servers) to transfer files between iSeries servers and servers that are not part of a SNADS network but have DDM installed.
Although a System/36™ might have SNADS, it cannot be used for iSeries object distribution.
For example, if an i5/OS® DDM file refers to a file on a System/36, the iSeries server can use the SNDNETF command to send the file to another iSeries server using object distribution. Similarly, if a file has been sent to an iSeries server, the RCVNETF command can be used to receive the file onto a System/36 using DDM.
