Distributed Data Management

(protocol, database)(DDM) An IBM data protocolarchitecture for data management services across distributedsystems in an SNA environment.

DDM provides a common data management language for datainterchange among different IBM system platforms.

Products supporting DDM include AS/400, System/36,System/38 and CICS/DDM.

On the AS/400, DDM controls remote file processing.DDM enables application programs running on one AS/400system to access data files stored on another systemsupporting DDM. Similarly, other systems that have DDM canaccess files in the database of the local AS/400 system.DDM makes it easier to distribute file processing between twoor more systems.
