Server Names Naming Conventions
When planning server names, especially in a heterogeneous server environment (where you have different operating systems, such as Windows and UNIX), consider the following:
- Siebel Server and Enterprise Server names must be unique on the Siebel Gateway Name Server machine.
- Siebel Server and Siebel Enterprise names must each be no longer than 12 characters.
- Names can contain only alpha characters, numerals, underscores, or a combination thereof, and must not contain spaces, brackets, or special characters.
- Names must lead with an alpha character.
- If you are operating a heterogeneous server environment, use the naming conventions that apply to creating server names under UNIX. This is also a good practice if you may deploy a heterogeneous server environment in the future.
