Windows-to-Windows automatic receive

For Windows-to-Windows transfers, DCM uses ccm_rem on the source machine to access ccm_remd on the destination machine. The ccm_remd application then launches ccm_receive on the destination machine.

For receives on the current machine

If the Host Name in the destination database definition matches the name of the source (current) machine, then the generate, transfer, and receive operations are done on the current machine. In such cases, DCM executes ccm_receive on the current machine without using ccm_rem. The session initiated by ccm_receive is started by user ccm_root, but you do not need to log in to the current machine as ccm_root.

If the source and destination database host names are the same, but DCM attempts to execute ccm_rem anyway, use the long host name in the Host Name field. For example, rather than setting the Host Name to mymachine, set it to mymachine.mydomain.com.

For receives on a different machine

To perform a Windows-to-Windows automatic receive, you must set up the destination machine as follows:

  1. You must be logged in to Windows® as user ccm_root. Otherwise, the receive fails, and this error message is displayed: User is not admin user (ccm_root).
  2. The ccm_remd application must be running on the destination machine. Otherwise, the receive fails, and this error message is displayed: Cannot establish connection.
