Database Administration Installation Guide
Figure 1-1 Product Architecture
The database access and scheduler servers are installed on the host where
the database server resides (although remote installation is also an
option). During the client setup, you select the database servers to which
the client will connect. BMC Software recommends that you connect the
client to the host on which both the database access server and a
scheduler server reside.
Communications between the Database Administration client, Database
Administration server, and Database Server are accomplished through
TCP/IP. Both the Database Administration client and Database
Administration server can support multiple database connections at one
time, thus allowing a single client to connect to multiple databases or
scheduler servers simultaneously. One database access server or
scheduler server can also support multiple clients. This flexibility enables
the PATROL Database Administration products to adapt to the structure
of any organization.
