For a graphic representation of the CONNX architecture, see the organizational chart of CONNX Client and Server Components.

Because the CONNX Listener automatically spawns CONNX Remote servers to handle incoming requests, you do not need multiple listeners per machine.

The CONNX Remote server is normally located on the database machine because CONNX Remote servers are tightly coupled with the database. or in the case of some ISAM storage methods, the file system. ADABAS is the only exception; if you have installed Entire-Network, the database and the CONNX Remote server may physically reside on different machines.
