Understanding database connection types

The machine on which OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer is installed is know as the local host. The remote host where the database resides is known as the remote AdminServer.
All databases, whether on the local host or a remote AdminServer, must be OpenEdge Version 11.0.
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 or OpenEdge Explorer. 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 or OpenEdge Explorer 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 or OpenEdge Explorer.
*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.
You can work with a database on a remote AdminServer by doing the following:
1. Reviewing the remote configuration requirements
2. Ungluing OpenEdge Management/OpenEdge Explorer from OpenEdge
