RGM Legal Names

RGM names fall into the following five categories.

• resource group names

• resource type names

• resource names

• property names

• enumeration literal names

Except for resource type names, all names must comply with the following rules.

• must be in ASCII

• must start with a letter

• can contain upper and lowercase letters, digits, dashes (-), and underscores (_)

• must not exceed 255 characters

A resource type name can be a simple name (specified by the Resource_type property in the RTR file) or a complete name (specified by the Vendor_id and Resource_type properties in the RTR file). When you specify both of these properties, the RGM inserts a period between the Vendor_id and Resource_type to form the complete name. For example, if Vendor_id=SUNW and Resource_type=sample, the complete name is SUNW.sample. This instance is the only case where a period is a legal character in an RGM name.
