Define object naming conventions

The second workflow task defines naming conventions for templates, objects, and object attributes. Naming conventions should adhere to:

• Conventions in use by the company.

• System Platform IDE naming restrictions. The following are reserved Galaxy and template names and cannot be used as object names:

  • Me

  • MyArea

  • MyContainer

  • MyEngine

  • MyHost

  • MyPlatform

  • System

• The extension "_New" cannot be used when naming an object, if the name already exists in the Galaxy without the "_New" extension. This is because automatic renaming of imported objects will append an existing object name with the "_New" extension.

• For more information on allowed names and characters, see the Application Server User Guide.

The following (instance) tagname is used as an example:

YY123XV456

It has the following attributes:

OLS, CLS, Out, Auto, Man

The following figure shows the differences between the HMI and Application Server naming conventions:

Create references using the following IDE naming convention:

<objectname>.<attributename>

For example:

YY123XV456.OLS
