To work with a database in the Database Administration Console, you must have a connection established for it.

You can configure any of 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.

    This type of database connection is new in this release of OpenEdge.

Decide if the connection you are setting up will be to a database on a local machine or a remote machine. If you want to set up a connection to a database on a remote machine, you must first set up remote configuration.

You can then set up the local or remote database connection.

For details about setting up a remote configuration before setting up the database connection, see:

  1. Review the remote configuration requirements

  2. Unglue OpenEdge Management from OpenEdge

  3. Set up the connection
