The NetworkDatabaseConnector object allows you to access an output database on a remote system.
session.networkDatabaseConnectors[name]
This method creates a NetworkDatabaseConnector object that you can use to access a remote output database. You can create a network database connector from any platform: Windows or Linux. However, the network database connector server must reside on a Linux platform; you cannot access an output database that resides on a remote Windows system. You can access only a remote output database; you cannot access a remote model database.
