Product Naming Conventions
Product Naming Conventions
The Administrative Products use a new set of DB2 structures for each new
release. Most of the BMC Software Utility products and Backup and
Recovery products use the same set of DB2 structures from one release to the
next. You are prompted during the installation for the names of the existing
DB2 structures.
When you install new releases over existing releases, a consistent naming
convention is important.
Some sites use their own naming conventions during the installation. Because
these naming conventions may not incorporate the version and release level
of the BMC Software products, the object names in the new release may
become identical to those in the old release.
You can install a new release and then copy the data from the old release to
the new release, using identical DB2 object names (for example, database
and table names). See “Migrating DB2 Objects Between Releases” on
page 2-26 for detailed steps.
