Microsoft SNA Server was a Microsoft BackOffice application for Windows servers. It provided connectivity between Windows systems and IBM Systems Network Architecture (SNA) environments.
The .dbs file belongs to the server's database data and is not a general-purpose document. This format was used with Microsoft SNA Server on platforms including Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and is now obsolete.
Open this file with a Microsoft SNA Server installation on a compatible Windows Server system, including Microsoft Windows 2000 Server. SNA Server uses its database files as part of the server installation rather than as documents opened directly by users.
Do not edit the file with a text editor or database program. If the original server is unavailable, the file may not be usable on its own.
The file is a proprietary server database and is not intended for conversion to a general-purpose database format.
For a migration, use the original SNA Server administration and migration procedures to recreate or transfer the required server configuration and data.
