Naming conventions for the multitiered architecture
A naming convention has been devised to help you identify related components in each layer of the multitiered architecture, and the data flow within and across the layers.
Important: Ensure that you use these naming conventions
for your ObjectServers and ObjectServer Gateways. The SQL import files
and gateway configuration files, which are supplied for setting up
the architecture, rely on compliance with these naming conventions.
In particular, ensure that the primary ObjectServer names end in _P*
and the backup ObjectServer names end in _B*.
The naming conventions used for the standard multitiered architecture
are shown in the following table. For each component shown in the
first column, the table shows the following details:
- Description: Shows what the component represents.
- Convention: Shows the naming convention for that component, where n represents an integer.
- Name provided: Lists examples of the component name, as provided in the standard architecture.
- Additional name: Provides suggested names (where applicable) for additional components, when added. Note that additional names are not required for aggregation ObjectServers and the aggregation gateway because there should only ever be one aggregation ObjectServer pair and one aggregation gateway in any multitiered environment.
