In the 20.10 version we have a data source with a .Net Client Data Provider with the settings below:
 

In the SaaS version we have the same source but the network library field is not a drop down and adding TCP/IP or TCP/IP (DBMSSOCN) results in an error that the provided network library does not exist. 
 

What is the value to use when I want it to be TCP/IP?

Hi,

TCP/IP is the default as far as I know. Named pipes is legacy, shared memory only works if connecting to localhost and I cannot find any documentation on what VIA should be. There is also some Apple networking library possible.

If you are getting http errors, that is more likely to be due to an API experiencing transient connection issues.

Hi ​@Roy V 

What issue do you have since you need this setting?

This is the only difference I see in the data source settings between the 20.10 version and the cloud version. The cloud version is giving regular http errors on the transfer task so that is why I wanted to try this data source with the Network Library setting filled.

Good to know that TCP/IP is the default so the setting can be left empty.
(The error was related to another part of the process).
