When naming an application, follow these rules:
Use no more than eight characters for an application's name.
Do not use spaces.
Do not use these special characters:
asterisks
backslashes
brackets
colons
commas
equal signs
greater than signs
less than signs
periods
plus signs
question marks
quotation marks (double and single)
semicolons
slashes
tabs
vertical bars
For application names in relational database environments, do not use extended characters (except for underscores).
For aggregate storage databases, do not use DEFAULT, LOG, METADATA, or TEMP as application names.
Enter names in the preferred case. Application names are created exactly as entered.
