Figure 1 MXDM functional flow
The following is the sequence of events involved in establishing the connection between MXDM
and the server components, and in managing the objects:
1. MXDM sends a connection request to the MXCS using the Windows ODBC/MX driver. MXDM
specifies an IP address or the NonStop server Domain Naming Service (DNS) name and port
number that is defined when the Association server started up.
2. The ODBC/MX driver accesses an MXCS Association server on the NonStop system.
3. The Association server associates the client application with an available MXCS server for the
data source.
4. MXDM sends a connection request to the MXCS server that was assigned by the Association
server. After the user information is validated, a connection between MXDM and the SQL/MX
database is established.
Subsequently, you can view and administer the database and MXCS objects on the system.
For more information, see the HP NonStop SQL/MX Release 3.2 Connectivity Services Manual.
