[Version 5.0.1 and later]Naming conventions

Before you install a new WebSphere Application Server environment, it is important to plan your naming convention carefully. Your naming convention should be able to grow with your system when you increase the number of cells, nodes, servers, and clusters later on. Also, your naming convention should accommodate Sysplex and LPAR names, as well as instances such as test, integration, and production stages in your environment.

WebSphere Application Server servers are like IMS or CICS regions.

A WebSphere Application Server for z/OS environment consists of a number of address spaces which require the installation to manage security profiles, workload classification constructs, and so on. To create, manage, and recognize application servers, it may be helpful to create a template for naming your servers and server instances. You can find an example template in Naming example.

It is also important to plan the naming conventions for your data sets carefully.
