Configuration setups

The examples below show OpenDB configurations and the location of the items described in the previous steps.

• If D3 and the ODBC databases are running on the same computer running a Windows operating system, then only one computer is involved in the OpenDB configuration.

  Note: These examples are recommended configurations for OpenDB to optimize performance. OpenDB can reside on any Windows computer on the network.
  

• If D3 and the ODBC database are running on separate computers, both running a Windows operating system, then OpenDB is running on the same computer as the ODBC database to be accessed.

  

• If the ODBC database is not installed on a computer running a Windows operating system but the D3 database is, then OpenDB is running on the same computer as the D3 database.

  

• If both D3 and the ODBC database are not running on a computer running a Windows operating system, then OpenDB is running on any computer running a Windows operating system on the network.
