Perform the following steps to enable a BRMS networked system for TCP/IP operations.
BRMS network communications requires TCP/IP communications and relational database (RDB) entries for all of its network operations
which must be configured by your site security administrator. BRMS does not set up communication or create the necessary system
configurations. BRMS expects that the communication setup has been done by the site security administrator.
Step 1: Check TCP/IP
Use the following command to verify TCP/IP is running on each of the systems in the BRMS network:
...
A server authorization entry can be removed using the RMVSVRAUTE command or changed using the CHGSVRAUTEcommand. See the CL Reference manual for a complete description of these commands and command parameters.
NOTES:
There can only be one server authorization entry for a user no matter what remote system is specified. This means that for a user to access multiple systems in the network, that user's id and password must be the same on all BRMS networked systems.
Do not use user profile QBRMS for the remote system userid. Create a new user profile and specify user profile QBRMS for the Group profile (GRPPRF) parameter of the remote system user profile. Use this new remote system userid for the User ID (USRID) parameter of the Add Server Authentication Entry (
ADDSVRAUTE) command.
Go to step 3.
For Non-secured DDM connections
...
Take the following action to enable BRMS to use TCP/IP
WRKPCYBRM TYPE(*SYS)Select option 4 to Change network group
Enter *YES in Enable for TCP/IP and press Enter.
Step 6: Setup BRMS network.
Refer to the BRMS User Guide, Chapter 14 Networking with BRMS (or the IBM i Knowledge Center page Networking with BRMS) for instructions on how to set up a BRMS network.
Step 7: Set up a secure DDM profile for BRMS to use.

Starting with PTFs SI80271 (7.3), SI80272 (7.4) and SI80273 (7.5) Step 7 is no longer available. The INZBRM OPTION(*SECUREDDM) option has been disabled. The Preferred Server Authentication support with QDDMDRDASERVER in Step 2 must be used for secure DDM connection. |
NOTE: Skip Step 7 if using the Preferred Server Authentication support with QDDMDRDASERVER.
You can use the following BRMS command on one of the systems in the BRMS network to set the user profile and password to use for remote server secure DDM connections to all the systems in the BRMS network. To set the user profile:
INZBRM OPTION(*SECUREDDM) ACTION(*SET) USER(xxxxx) PASSWORD()
Note: The INZBRM OPTION(*SECUREDDM) command requires *SECADM special authority. It is recommended that the user profile entered on the ACTION(*SET) be the same user profile that was entered for the QDDMSERVER server authentication entry for the QBRMS user profile in Step 2 instructions For secure DDM connection. The user profile and password must exist and be the same on the local and remote systems.
