XDB Server Name

Use this option to set the name by which this XDB Server is known to client applications. Multiple XDB Servers, each with a unique name, can coexist on the same network. Users must supply the appropriate XDB Server Name, using the Options Utility, to connect their client applications to a particular server.

The name given here must also be specified in other places, depending on the client-to-server communications protocol and operating system:

Other networks or operating systems may have other naming conventions and restrictions. Consult your network or operating system documentation for more information.
