Copying a table to different schema creates two instances of the same table. To copy a table to a different schema:
Distributed data management (DDM) is used by System i Navigator to actually move or copy the table. If the source system is Version 4 Release 4 or later and if the target system is Version 4 Release 2 or later, the operation will be performed using DDM over TCP/IP. Otherwise the operation will be performed using DDM over SNA. For a move or copy using DDM over SNA, the names by which System i Access knows the systems must be the same as the remote location names specified in the APPC or APPN device descriptions used by DDM. For a move or copy using DDM over TCP/IP, TCP communications must be enabled between the systems. For TCP/IP, it is important to note that TCP/IP must be enabled between the systems as they are known to System i Access.
