Using SMH, you can change the Adabas Directory Server used by an Entire Net-Work Client or by a client machine. Be careful when you do this, however, so that connections used by clients are not broken.

Note:
In general, Software AG recommends that you use only one Adabas Directory Server to ensure centralized administration.
