The Data Object Broker and the server can be configured to reside on the same, or different domains and operating systems (z/OS, Windows or Solaris). The server must be in the same domain as the Adabas database system. Once your environment is set up, you can access Adabas data while having equal access to TDS data, which is TIBCO Object Service Broker's native data type.
Refer to Connection to a Windows or Solaris Data Object Broker for information about configuring on different operating systems.
