Hi,
does anybody know about documentation with proposals of naming conventions for
- products
- software units
- Software components
- Tracks
and so on?
Would be great to get a link.
Thanks in advance
Norbert
Hi Norbert,
there are not much conventions for naming of that entities. The most obviuos and well known ones are given/referenced below.
the very first and the most important is <b>namespace</b> (aka vendor aka prefix - depending on the context)
in order to avoid any collisions it is always strongly recommended to use a reverse internet domain reserved by your company as a vendor or prefix for all named entities.
in that way for SAP the vendor/prefix should be "com.sap", for MSFT - "com.microsoft", for W3C - "org.w3" etc.
Further constraints you might find in SLD:
- help
- namereservation dialogs contain additional information
- you might also have a look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce10/helpdata/en/45/5a1babec592a4de10000000a11466f/frameset.htm">NW CE 7.1 SP3 help</a> (the rules are about the same for other releases)
A few more hints
- it is not recommended to repeat the vendor/prefix in the main part of the name,
instead of vendor "org.demo.my", name "<u>my.org.demo.</u>abc"
recommended: vendor "org.demo.my", name "abc"
- there is no need to include entity type in the name, e.g.
instead of name "my.demo.org.<u>DC</u>.my.application"
recommended: vendor "my.demo.org", name "my.application"
- if necessary (only you may now if it is the case), define a prefix per product and use it consistently in all entities those belong to the product. That would be particularly hepful if you plan to develop more than one product
- pay attention to the case(!)
If the information is too generic - you might give few examples those would help you to get better feeling.

As far as I know there are no naming conventions for these entities.
