> #### Understanding managed and scripted databases

> You can set up a database resource monitor in Fathom for a database that the Progress Explorer, the AdminServer, and Fathom commonly recognize, as follows:

> - A managed database is a database that the Progress Explorer and the AdminServer recognize and manage. You can set up resources for file systems and disks associated with managed databases.
> At Fathom startup, all databases currently managed by Progress Explorer and the AdminServer are automatically discovered (recognized) by Fathom.

> If you add a database to Progress Explorer after you have initially configured Fathom, you must add that database to Fathom as well. See the "Adding a managed database" section for more information.

> - A scripted database is a database that is not currently listed among the database resources that the AdminServer manages. You cannot set up a resource for a scripted database, or its associated file systems and disks, until the database is recognized as a managed database.
> To change a scripted database to a managed database, use Fathom's Database Migration Utility and migrate the database's configuration, or define a remote database monitor for each scripted database. See the "Defining monitors for previously scripted databases" section for more information.
