Downloading a DID from the iSeries

DIDs developed on an iSeries can be downloaded directly into the ITP/MDK Repository:

  1. Select the DID folder in which you want to download the DID.
  2. Right-click and select Download iSeries DID.
  3. A dialog will pop up allowing you to enter information necessary to perform the download. You can enter the name of the DID, the library on the iSeries, the address of the iSeries, and logon credentials.

If the DID you want to import already exists in the folder you selected, a new DID revision will be created. The same download action is possible when a DID is selected instead of a DID folder. In that case the name of the DID is already given when the dialog opens.

The DID revision you just downloaded in the ITP/MDK Repository will by default be locked by you. This allows you to test this DID revision before other users can use it. Unlocking the DID (revision) will make it available to all users of the ITP/MDK Repository.
