About resource model names

Note:
The decision tree script in IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder does not recognize double-byte characters. If you write text in a non-English language, then export the resource model and install it on the server, all text information is handled together, regardless of whether it is in English or not. Due to this behavior, translated message catalogs need to be installed separately. For more information, see Generating the Message Catalog.

Resource models and their components have the following names and descriptions that are used in different contexts; for example, names used in scripts are different from those displayed in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows.

Internal Name
The names of your resource models, thresholds, parameters, and events as named in the decision tree script. These names are used inside a monitoring algorithm written in Visual Basic or JavaScript. The names must be alphanumeric, start with an alphabetic letter, and contain no blanks.
Descriptive Name
The names of your resource models, thresholds, parameters, events and actions as they display in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows and the message catalog. Use more description in descriptive names than you do for internal names. Descriptive names are not subject to naming conventions.
Description
A description of your resource models, thresholds, parameters, events and actions. Here you can specify what the specific element does and the logic on which it is based. For thresholds and parameters, you can explain the values specified in the decision tree script.
Alias
A name for the selected class of a dynamic model. This name is used in the decision tree script. Use a meaningful but simple alias. If you do not type an alias, the class name called in the decision tree script is the Selected Class name that includes the whole path.
Category Internal Name
A name for the resource model. This name displays in internal databases and defines groups that include similar resource models.

To prevent duplicate names between resource models, use the same name for the Category Internal Name and Category Descriptive Name. An error occurs if you try to import a resource model with a previously-used internal name.

Category Descriptive Name
A descriptive name for the resource model. This name displays in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows when the operator opens a profile containing that resource model. It also displays in the message catalog. This name defines groups that include similar resource models.

To prevent duplicate names between resource models, use the same name for the Category Internal Name and Category Descriptive Name. An error occurs if you try to import a resource model with a previously-used internal name.
