Give this worksheet to your PC LAN administrator or system support staff. Verify that settings for the SNA Server match the required value for the field in the specified dialog box. To help you determine the value to use when configuring SNA Server, the value's common name (nick name) and source definition are shown in the table below.
Record your values in the space provided. You will use your values when configuring the SNA Server.
Dialog boxes and field values that are not shown on this worksheet are not used by XDB Link.
