The following figure shows the local DataServer configuration.
Figure 4. The local, self-service, DataServer for MS SQL Server
In the local DataServer configuration, the DataServer software components, the data source client software run on the same machine. Depending on the ODBC and data source client software implementation, the actual target database can be local or remote to the machine where the local 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 local MS SQL Server data source definition. Remote database access is transparent to the DataServer. Similarly, the schema holder can be accessed locally or remotely depending upon your OpenEdge Database configuration.
