Terminology

Understand object naming conventions for application upgrades. As-shipped objects use "tri" prefix, while renamed and modified custom objects use "cst" prefix and follow different upgrade processes.

Whether you followed the naming conventions outlined in Application building for IBM Maximo Real Estate and Facilities or used your own conventions, the following terminology applies to this content.

Terminology for Maximo Real Estate and Facilities objects

"tri" object
  • An as-shipped Maximo Real Estate and Facilities object, such as triBuilding or Location.
"cst" object
  • Any as-shipped Maximo Real Estate and Facilities objects that you renamed and modified (typically with "cst") to suit your business needs, such as renaming triBuilding to cstBuilding, are not considered in these best practices.
  • Similarly, non- Maximo Real Estate and Facilities objects that you created and prefixed with "cst" (or your own custom prefix) are not considered in these best practices since they are not impacted by Maximo Real Estate and Facilities application upgrades.
