               -  First check that the basic XDB Server installation is functioning for each XDB Server by itself. If you have problems making
                  a server-to-server connection, try connecting the client directly with each XDB Server (using the same protocol) and observe
                  what happens. Also, if one protocol does not work for a particular connection, then try another one (if available).
               
 
               
               -  Ensure that xdbnet.ini is built and present on your XDB Server machine.
               
 
               
               -  Insert a single letter T (for TCP/IP) in the LINKATTR column of your SYSIBM.SYSLOCATIONS table. This single character value
                  determines which address information in xdbnet.ini is used for the connection.
