Object Naming Conventions

Understanding Siebel object naming conventions allows you to keep track of existing Siebel objects and to successfully create and maintain your own objects.

If you understand Siebel naming conventions, you can more easily identify underlying data sets (VSAM files); for example, the name of the underlying data sets for the H0401000 table space might look like Q10E.DSNDBC.SIEBTO.H0401000.I0001.A001 where the fourth node represents the table space name.

NOTE:  Siebel utilities can recognize and use custom objects only if the objects follow Siebel naming conventions; therefore, it is strongly recommended that you use the Siebel naming conventions for objects that you create.
