Naming conventions for applications

The Tivoli Enterprise Portal has 26 character limitation for the host and application names in the Navigator. When you have a combination of names longer than 26 characters, the application name is truncated. For example, if you have application names such as Websphere Plants and Websphere Petstore on a computer with a long hostname, the names might appear in Navigator as WebspherePl and WebspherePe. If the hostname is only four characters shorter, the names are WebspherePlants and WebspherePetsto.

Install Application Management Console on a computer with a short host name to avoid this limitation.
