Naming Conventions for Renaming TPPs

  • A name is automatically added to a TPP with the specified "Name" and a suffix number "x". However, if the start suffix is "00" or "000", "0" will be added to the "Name".

    (Example) Specified TPP name: ThinProvision0 (14 characters), starting number "1" → Name for renamed TPP: ThinProvision01, ThinProvision02, etc.

  • When the TPP name including the suffix number has more than 16 characters, the excess number of characters is deleted from the "Name", starting with the last character and a suffix number "~x" will be added. Then, the name will contain only 16 characters.

    (Example) Specified TPP name: ThinProvision_pl (16 characters), starting number "100" → Name for renamed TPP: ThinProvisio~100, ThinProvisi0~101, etc.

  • When a TPP name including the suffix number already exists, the suffix number is increased by one (+1). The suffix number is increased by one (+1) until no TPP names overlap.
