The machine on which OpenEdge Management is installed is known as the local host. The remote host where the database resides is known as the remote AdminServer.

All database versions, whether on the local host or a remote AdminServer, must be supported in the current release of OpenEdge Management. For details, see the OpenEdge Platform Compatibility Guide on the Progress Content Portal at https://docs.progress.com.

You can configure the following database connections:

  • A managed connection, which refers to a database that is either of the following:
    • Managed database—A database that is being managed by OpenEdge Management. The database can reside on the local host or on a remote AdminServer. For a managed database, the connection is made through shared memory.
    • Scripted database—A database that you start with a script outside of the OpenEdge Management environment. The database can reside on the local host or on a remote AdminServer.
  • An unmanaged database connection, which refers to a database that:
    • Is not being managed by OpenEdge Management.
    • You are using only to perform database administration tasks related to multi-tenancy.

You can work with a database on a remote AdminServer by doing the following:

  1. Review the remote configuration requirements
  2. Unglue OpenEdge Management from OpenEdge
