The server environment variables isolate the file system from the actual computer names. Wherever a server name is expected, the Env. button enables you to select, create, or delete server variables.
For example, in the dialog box below, Accounting is a variable name which represents the server Compaq_01. Creating a database using this variable name enables you to move the database by changing the value of the variable.
See Path Environment Variables for information on setting up Path Environment Variables.
