There are three kinds of DirectConnect servers:
DCDirector server—a server that performs an administrative role in DirectConnect Manager over other servers that you associate with it.
Directed server—a server associated with DCDirector that you can fully administer remotely through DirectConnect Manager.
Non-directed server—a server not associated with DCDirector, and thus one that you cannot fully administer remotely through DirectConnect Manager.
Whether a server is directed or non-directed, there is no impact on your applications. Both types of servers operate the same and require no specific connection changes to client applications. However, the DCDirector and its associated servers all must reside on the same machine.
The following table describes which functions you can administer to directed and non-directed servers using DirectConnect Manager.
