DataServer configurations
In the remote configuration, the OpenEdge client and schema holder run on a client
machine and the OpenEdge server components and any MS SQL Server client
software run on a remote server machine. The actual target database can be local or
remote to the machine where the OpenEdge DataServer for MS SQL Server executes.
With the MS SQL Server client software supplied modules that manage networked
database communications, a remote database configuration is possible. The
DataServer cares only about the data source definition on its machine. Remote
database access is transparent to the DataServer.
In remote DataServer configurations, OpenEdge handles the communication between
the client and the server. The client and server processes that make up the DataServer
adapt to a variety of network configurations.
Table 2 lists the supported configurations for setting up a remote DataServer. It
contains possible client-server combinations and networking options.
