OpenEdge Data Management: DataServer for Microsoft SQL Server

Configuring the DataServer
DataServer components
5–2
The DataServer for MS SQL Server can run in a variety of configurations. Some configurations
involve a single process running on one machine. Others involve multiple processes running on
different machines across multiple platforms.
DataServer configuration prerequisites
Before you configure a DataServer, you must:
• Register your MS SQL Server database as an ODBC data source. For details, see the
“Registering your data source” section on page 5–4.
• Determine which components you need on which platforms and then set up the appropriate
executables on those platforms.
Table 5–1 lists the possible combinations and describes which executables you must set
up on each machine. In this table, the term local indicates that the DataServer component
runs on the same machine as the client, while the term remote indicates that the component
runs on a different machine than the client.
