SOMDD is the DSOM daemon. It must be started prior to running a DSOM application. The daemon can be started manually from the command line, or it could be started automatically from a start-up script run at boot time. It can be run in the background with the following command:

START SOMDD

The SOMDD program requires no parameters. An optional -q parameters can be used to set "quiet" mode, to suppress messages.

Note: The SOMDD.EXE program included with VisualAge C++ is incompatible with the version of SOM used with OS/2 Warp Toolkit and should not be used. You will need to update both your LIBPATH and PATH statements to ensure that the OS/2 Warp Toolkit path is ahead of the VisualAge C++ compiler.
