> #### Remote container support for database resources

> There is now an additional way for you to control and monitor scripted and managed databases through a Fathom remote container.

> Previously, if you wanted to monitor and manage a database through Fathom, it was necessary to install Fathom and the AdminServer on each machine hosting a database being monitored. With the new support for databases in remote containers, you can now install Fathom on one machine and monitor any database on a machine where the AdminServer is running. (Note that the remote machine requires OpenEdge 10.0B or Progress 9.1D with the 9.1D09 service pack).

> The databases and remote container are defined as follows:

> - A scripted database is one that is not currently listed among the database resources that the AdminServer manages.
> - A managed database is one that the Progress Explorer and the AdminServer recognize and manage.
> - A remote container is a container associated with an AdminServer that is executing on a host other than the Fathom host console machine.

> The Fathom host console machine must be running an AdminServer that you have configured using the Fathom Remote Monitoring Utility. The remote machine must be running an AdminServer that you have configured, also using the Fathom Remote Monitoring Utility, to connect into the Fathom host machine. An installation of Fathom Management on the remote machine is not required.
