Class names

The exception to the usage of short names is in the case of duplicates. For example, SSLSettings must be referenced by its long name because there are 2 instances of SSLSettings:

• com.collation.platform.model.topology.app.lotus.SSLSettings
• com.collation.platform.model.topology.app.SSLSettings.

The following code sample displays all the short and long names for classes in the Common Data Model. Once you run this command, the duplicate class names which must be referenced by their long name are listed at the end of the results.
