Common Element Used to Define Report Nodes

Field or Control	Description
Node Name	Enter a name for the node. The node name must be unique and must begin with a character and may contain up to 30 characters.
Protocol	Specify the mode of transfer.
Validate	Click the Validate button after you have entered all the required information for the report node definition to check if the report node configurations are correct.

If the sample file does not get posted successfully, the validation will fail.
