Before you enable remote monitoring or configuration, you identify one host machine and one or more non-host machines. Each non-host machine is known as a remote AdminServer.

At a minimum, the host machine must have OpenEdge installed on it along with OpenEdge Management.

The remote AdminServer must have an AdminServer installed on it but must not have an enabled installation of OpenEdge Management.

As shown in the scenario illustrated in the following figure, Machine A and Machine B have an installation of OpenEdge and OpenEdge Management.



In this scenario, each install of OpenEdge Management (on Machine A and Machine B) can monitor and configure only those resources local to the host on which it is installed (and each install of OpenEdge Management uses its own OpenEdge Management Trend Database).

An alternative to this scenario is to set up Machine A, for example, as a host machine and Machine B as a remote AdminServer.

Should you later decide to discontinue using Machine B as a remote AdminServer, you can run restart the OpenEdge Management service, which re-enables OpenEdge Management in the OpenEdge product.
