When you know how the system names objects, you can plan and monitor security, solve problems, and plan backup and recovery.
Most applications have rules for assigning names to objects, such as libraries, files, and programs. If your applications come from different sources, they probably each have their own unique naming system. Be sure to record all the naming conventions of applications and objects on the Naming conventions worksheet. List the rules your applications use for naming libraries and files. You may want to use the blank lines for other naming conventions, such as programs and menus. If your applications come from different sources, they probably each have unique naming conventions. Describe the naming conventions for each application. You may need to prepare more than one Naming conventions worksheet.
