The ADS DB Server field contains the name of the SQL server that hosts the
server databases. In a single box ADX, the name is the same as the application server.
In a split ADX configuration, this field contains the database server name. This field
format is the standard SQL connection string syntax. Metasys supports using SQL Server
that has named instances.
